2015 Ford Mondeo 1.5L Diesel · AD15 AVL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, as evidenced by a clean pass during the most recent inspection on 16 May 2025 at 132,073 miles. This result follows a period of consistent passing over the previous three years. While the record shows a momentary failure on 16 May 2023 at 108,919 miles, the immediate re-test success on the same day indicates the owner addressed the specific faults promptly. The lack of advisories in the two most recent tests suggests the vehicle is currently being maintained to a functional standard. At 132,073 miles, this 11-year-old Mondeo has covered an average of approximately 12,000 miles per annum. The data shows steady and consistent accumulation, with 11,127 miles driven between April 2024 and May 2025, and another 12,027 miles between May 2023 and April 2024. This regular usage pattern suggests the car is used regularly rather than sitting idle, which often results in better engine health and seal integrity compared to stationary vehicles. The absence of long gaps between annual tests confirms a predictable maintenance schedule. Given the high mileage, a physical inspection should focus on components subject to heavy wear and stress. A buyer should examine the suspension for worn control arm bushes, shock absorbers, and coil springs, as these often degrade after the 100,000-mile mark. The braking system requires a check for signs of binding calipers or thinning discs, despite the MOT record not currently flagging these issues. Additionally, checking the structural integrity of the chassis for corrosion, particularly around the rear, is vital to ensure that the high mileage has not led to accelerated rust in the underbody.
