Our Verdict
This 2016 Ford Mondeo 2.0L diesel presents a mixed picture with higher-than-average mileage and a historical MOT failure on record. Buyers should carefully verify the vehicle's mechanical condition and consult a full service history before committing.
When approaching this 2016 Ford Mondeo, request a comprehensive independent service history to corroborate the 140,256-mile odometer reading recorded at its last test in October 2022. Because no MOT test results are recorded for late 2023, 2024, or 2025 in the provided data, verify the vehicle's current roadworthiness status and whether it has been SORN or untested during intervening periods.
Negotiate on price by factoring in potential wear associated with higher-than-average mileage and the gap in recent MOT data. Ensure all electrical systems, the 2.0-litre diesel engine, and transmission components operate smoothly during a thorough test drive before finalising the purchase.
The 2.0-litre diesel engine in this Ford Mondeo generally offers competitive fuel economy for long-distance motorway driving, though high mileage can increase the likelihood of component wear such as clutches, dual-mass flywheels, and diesel particulate filters (DPFs).
Insurance group placement and Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) tax bands should be checked against current DVLA rates for a 2016 diesel vehicle. Combined with routine maintenance, consumables, and potential repairs for high-mileage wear and tear, budget carefully for annual upkeep.
Pay close attention to the common failure areas identified for this model range, specifically tyres, anti-roll bar linkages, and brake pipes. Given the recorded 2022 test failure, inspect the braking system, suspension joints, and steering components thoroughly for play or corrosion.
Examine the white bodywork for signs of previous repairs or heavy motorway stone chipping, and check the underside for corrosion typical of higher-mileage vehicles. Verify that all dashboard warning lights function correctly upon startup and do not indicate hidden faults.
First registered in October 2016 and finished in white, this 1,997cc diesel Ford Mondeo has accumulated 140,256 miles by October 2022. Its recorded history includes an MOT test in October 2022 that initially resulted in a failure before passing on the same day, alongside cleaner passes in previous years. With an average annual mileage significantly higher than the national model benchmark, thorough physical and document checks are essential.
The Ford Mondeo achieves an average MOT pass rate of 78.1% across nearly a quarter of a million vehicles analysed, though common failure points include tyres, anti-roll bars, and brake pipes.
