FORD MONDEO2011 · 2.0L Diesel

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness with no defects recorded in its last five consecutive MOT tests, all of which were passed. The most recent 2025-08-19 assessment at 75,696 miles confirmed no issues, aligning with the prior four annual tests from 2021 to 2024. This consistent pass record suggests the car has been maintained to a standard meeting legal requirements, with no emerging mechanical or structural concerns flagged. The absence of advisories or failures indicates the previous owner prioritized basic upkeep, though low mileage may mask certain wear patterns. The mileage progression shows a steady annual increase of approximately 1,000–1,500 miles, reflecting minimal usage over 15 years. The car’s 75,696 miles equate to roughly 5,046 miles per year, significantly below the average for its age. This suggests either prolonged periods of inactivity or careful, limited use. The MOT history lacks gaps, with tests conducted precisely one year apart, implying regular compliance with legal requirements. However, the low mileage raises potential risks for components reliant on frequent operation, such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers, which may degrade from lack of use. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for dry rot or stiffness, particularly in bushes and coil springs, given the low mileage. Check the exhaust system for corrosion, as prolonged inactivity can accelerate rust in underbody components. Although no brake-related issues were recorded, the absence of wear-related advisories does not eliminate the need to verify brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or binding. Additionally, a structural inspection of the chassis and body panels is recommended to identify hidden corrosion, as MOT tests do not assess non-structural panel integrity. The vehicle’s maintenance history confirms compliance but does not replace a physical inspection for age-related degradation.
