2006 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · AD55 BBJ

The 2006 Ford Mondeo shows a current roadworthy status following a passed MOT on 7 January 2026 at 148,977 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable in the sense that the most recent test cleared clean, though the history reveals a pattern of administrative or pre-check failures immediately prior to passes rather than progressive mechanical decline. Recorded mileage stands at 148,977 against an approximate 20-year lifespan, equating to roughly 7,449 miles per year which is typical for the model age. Between the 2 January 2025 failure at 136,557 miles and the 7 January 2026 pass, the vehicle covered 12,420 miles, a modest annual rate. The DVSA entries are sparse: three failures on 2 January 2025, 3 January 2025, and 7 January 2026 each show no defects recorded, suggesting the failures stemmed from documentation or presentation issues rather than wear. No rapid accumulation or standing gaps are evident. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion on sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points given the vehicle's two-decade age. The clean advisories across all five tests mean no outstanding warnings on brake discs, coil springs, suspension bushes, or exhaust emissions exist in the record. Previous owners appear to have kept the car to a basic test-standard rather than addressing latent wear proactively. The repeated no-defect failures imply the Mondeo was presented without resolving clerical or identification matters before final submission, not that consumables like tyres or wiper blades were neglected.
