2016 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · AB07 BES

The 2016 Ford Mondeo presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 26 August 2025 at 86,274 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across five consecutive annual examinations. Recorded mileage sits at a typical 8,627 miles per year for a ten-year-old vehicle. The test on 15 September 2021 captured 59,046 miles, rising to 70,239 by 22 August 2022, then 78,353 on 22 August 2023 and 79,746 on 27 August 2024. The jump between 2021 and 2022 shows roughly 11,000 miles of use, while the 2023 to 2024 period added only 1,393 miles, indicating the car stood largely idle in its ninth year. The sparse, fault-free history gives no evidence of deferred consumable replacement or ignored advisories. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and the low-mileage year that may have promoted corrosion or seized components through disuse. The clean MOT record means no prior tester flagged structural integrity issues, exhaust emissions faults, or binding calipers. Given the absence of any recorded advisories across the lifespan, previous owners appear to have maintained the car to a standard that satisfied DVSA criteria. Prospective purchasers should verify underbody condition and confirm tyre age rather than relying solely on the pass results.
