2016 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · AE16 SWK

The 2016 Ford Mondeo presents a highly stable and positive maintenance trend, demonstrating consistent mechanical health across its recorded history. The most recent MOT test on 17 January 2026 at 82,424 miles passed without a single defect or advisory, indicating the vehicle currently meets all required safety and emissions standards. This unblemished record suggests the previous owner maintained the car diligently, addressing any wear items before they escalated into failures. The mileage accumulation aligns perfectly with a regular annual testing cycle and typical usage patterns. Between 25 January 2022 at 38,032 miles and 17 January 2026 at 82,424 miles, the Mondeo covered roughly 44,000 miles over four years, averaging approximately 11,000 miles annually. This steady increase shows no sudden spikes in usage or prolonged periods of inactivity, reinforcing the impression of reliable, everyday service rather than neglect or severe duty cycles. Despite the flawless MOT record, a physical inspection remains essential to verify the condition of components not strictly covered by the test. At ten years old and 82,424 miles, the suspension bushes and coil springs will have endured significant cyclic loading; check for deterioration or corrosion on the spring seats. Inspect the brake discs for excessive lipping and measure pad depth, as consumable wear can occur rapidly between annual tests. Examine the exhaust system for signs of corrosion or gas leaks, and assess the tyre manufacture dates alongside tread depth to ensure they are not aged or unevenly worn. A test drive will confirm the integrity of the clutch operation and gearbox syncromesh, providing a complete picture of this Mondeo's mechanical standing.
