2008 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Petrol · AC08 JWV

The 2008 Ford Mondeo presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 6 February 2026 returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the available history. Mileage data is sparse but shows moderate annual use. The tester logged 48,868 miles on 15 February 2022, 55,952 miles on 6 February 2023, 67,393 miles on 5 February 2024, then no mileage captured for the 2025 and 2026 passes. That equates to roughly 9,000 to 11,500 miles per year between recorded entries, a normal pattern for a private motorist. The two most recent tests omit odometer readings, so a buyer cannot confirm continuity, but nothing in the record suggests rapid accumulation or neglected gaps. No advisories or defects appear in any test, so the history reveals no recurring suspension bushes, coil spring, brake caliper, or corrosion issues. A clean sheet across five years implies previous owners kept basic consumables and structural items within limits. Still, a 17-year-old Mondeo warrants a physical inspection of subframe corrosion, brake disc wear, and suspension bush condition, as MOT passes at the threshold do not expose early-stage degradation. Given the absence of flagged faults, the buyer should verify the untested 2025 and 2026 mileages against the V5C and service book. Confirm the exhaust emissions and tyre tread remain sound, and check for undertray rust the tester may not have photographed. The record supports a sound purchase, contingent on a routine pre-sale visual check.
