FORD MONDEO2011 · 2.0L Diesel

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-04-16 at 247,500 miles recorded a PASS with no defects, indicating stable roadworthiness. Previous tests from 2024-03-30 (243,931 miles) and 2023-04-06 (231,274 miles) also passed without issues, suggesting consistent maintenance. However, a duplicate entry for a failed test on 2023-04-06 at the same mileage raises questions about data accuracy, though no specific faults were logged. Overall, the trend shows no emerging mechanical concerns in the last three years. The vehicle’s mileage of 247,500 miles at 15 years old equates to 16,500 annual miles, exceeding typical usage. A significant jump from 220,707 miles in 2022 to 247,500 by 2025 suggests heavy usage, potentially accelerating wear on components like suspension bushes, brake discs, and drivetrain parts. The MOT records lack detailed defect reports, but the absence of advisories or failures in recent tests implies the owner prioritized basic upkeep. However, gaps in data between 2022 and 2023 tests (11,567 miles) may indicate periods of reduced scrutiny. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, common wear items at this mileage. Brake components, including calipers and discs, warrant close examination for uneven wear or corrosion, as high mileage often exacerbates these issues. While no structural rust or emission faults are noted, the vehicle’s age and usage history mean hidden corrosion or exhaust system degradation could exist. The MOT record’s brevity on specific faults underscores the need for a hands-on inspection to confirm the integrity of critical systems.
