2008 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · AE58 FEH

The 2008 Ford Mondeo presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 2025-09-08 at 202,029 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean results. This consistency indicates the previous keeper maintained the vehicle to a standard that satisfied annual statutory inspection without recurring advisories or failures. Annual mileage has tracked close to the typical 11,224-mile average for the car's age. The records show 168,313 miles in August 2021, rising to 182,734 by August 2022, 189,805 by September 2023, 195,275 by September 2024, and 202,029 by September 2025. The yearly increments of roughly 12,000 to 14,000 miles reflect steady, regular use rather than sporadic high-load driving or long dormant periods. No test gaps exist across the five-year span, and the DVSA data carries no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection before purchase. The clean MOT history offers no flagged wear on binding calipers, steering joints, or underbody rust, yet a 202,029-mile Mondeo of this era is prone to degraded engine mounts, worn dampers, and tired bushings that testers may not record until failure. Verify the condition of tyres, wiper blades, and brake friction material as consumable items near end of life. Given the absence of recorded defects, previous ownership appears disciplined about baseline upkeep. The buyer should confirm service history paperwork to corroborate the MOT pass pattern, and pay close attention to drivetrain noise and structural integrity around sills and suspension mounting points.
