2007 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · AD07 PSY

The 2007 Ford Mondeo presents a current roadworthy status following a passed MOT on 12 February 2024 at 157,427 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable in the most recent cycle, though the surrounding test history shows administrative or presentation failures rather than mechanical faults. The vehicle carries a clean defect sheet across all five recorded tests, indicating no outstanding advisories on suspension, brakes, corrosion, or emissions at the points of examination. Recorded mileage rose from 138,250 on 14 January 2023 to 157,427 by 12 February 2024, a gain of 19,177 miles over roughly thirteen months. That equates to about 17,700 miles per year in that window, well above the lifetime average of 8,286 miles per year. Two further tests within days of each other in February 2024 show mileages of 157,417 and 157,427, suggesting the car was presented for retest rapidly after the earlier failures. The sparse record gives no evidence of neglected consumables or structural decline, but the two 2024 failures with no defects logged point to documentation or identification issues rather than worn components. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the car is nineteen years old. The Mondeo's suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant physical checks despite the absence of advisories in the record. Verify the exhaust emissions and binding calipers operate within tolerance, as MOT passes with zero defects do not capture wear just below the failure threshold. The repeated clean sheets imply previous owners kept the car to minimum legal standard rather than investing in proactive upkeep. Given the mileage jump in 2023 to 2024, expect accelerated wear on drivetrain components and tyres not visible in the official history. A pre-purchase examination by a qualified technician remains essential before commitment.
