2015 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · AD15 CPN

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on May 12, 2025 at 147,353 miles with no defects recorded. This indicates that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed. While the history shows a pattern of failures followed by immediate passes, the clean sheets from the last two tests suggest the current owner is proactive in rectifying faults to maintain legal road use. At 147,353 miles, this 11-year-old Ford Mondeo has averaged approximately 13,400 miles per year. This high level of usage places significant strain on wear-related components across the chassis. The interval between November 2022 and April 2024 shows a rapid accumulation of 13,657 miles covered in just seventeen months, which exceeds the annual average. Such consistent high mileage suggests the vehicle has been used for long-distance commuting or work, which is generally better for the engine than short trips but accelerates out the drivetrain and suspension components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking systems, as the high mileage often accelerates the failure of bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers. Given the previous failures in 2022 and 2024, it is vital to check for signs of uneven tyre wear or thinning on brake discs. The inspector should also verify the structural integrity of the subframe and mounting points, as high-mileage Ford vehicles in UK salt-exposed environments are susceptible to accelerated corrosion over a decade of use.
