2015 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · AF15 VBL

The 2015 Ford Mondeo presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 11 December 2025 at 105,426 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior annual test on 10 December 2024 at 98,749 miles also passed clean. The only blemish is a fail logged on 7 December 2024 at 98,746 miles, reversed three days later by a pass at near-identical mileage with no defects cited, which points to an administrative or minor pre-test correction rather than a mechanical fault. Recorded mileage tracks typical use for an eleven-year-old car. The odometer moved from 87,317 miles at the August 2023 test to 93,035 miles in December 2023, then 98,749 by December 2024 and 105,426 by December 2025. That averages roughly 9,584 miles per year with no abrupt jumps or long dormant periods. The DVSA history is sparse on advisories, showing no corrosion, suspension bush wear, brake disc scoring, or exhaust emission concerns across any entry. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and underbody condition despite the clean sheet. The absence of recorded advisories does not confirm absence of age-related wear on coil springs, track-rod ends, or binding calipers that a tester might omit at low-severity stages. The December 2024 fail with no defect listed warrants a check of the failure reason via the full DVSA certificate, as the rapid re-test suggests a skipped item rather than owner neglect of consumables. Given the uneventful record, previous keepers appear to have maintained basic statutory testing discipline. The three-day gap between fail and pass in December 2024 implies prompt rectification rather than deferred upkeep. Treat the Mondeo as mechanically sound on paper, but verify tyre tread depth, wiper function, and brake balance during a viewing before purchase.
