2016 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · AE16 YMT

The 2016 Ford Mondeo passed its most recent MOT on 2 March 2024 at 349,274 miles with no defects recorded, indicating a currently roadworthy status. The maintenance trend appears stable on paper, though the preceding test on 29 February 2024 failed at 349,270 miles with no defects logged, a four-mile gap that points to an administrative or late-cancellation rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Such a pattern shows the vehicle cleared inspection cleanly once the paperwork was resolved. At roughly ten years old the Mondeo shows 349,274 miles on the clock, an average of about 34,927 miles per year. That is exceptionally high for a 2016 passenger car and implies sustained motorway or fleet-style use. The record jumps from 349,270 to 349,274 across the two late-February 2024 tests, then stops. No earlier entries exist in the supplied data, so we cannot chart wear rates or confirm prior advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, or corrosion. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and consumable items before purchase. The high annual mileage will have loaded the drivetrain, coil springs, and binding-calipered rear brakes far beyond typical private use. Absence of recorded advisories in March 2024 does not rule out worn suspension bushes or exhaust-emission drift hidden by a clean sheet. Given the sparse history and extreme distance covered, treat the Mondeo as a high-stress unit needing proof of timed belt, fluid, and tyre changes. The February failure with zero defects suggests the prior keeper rushed the test; verify the V5C and service book match the 349k mileage before committing.
