2016 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · AF16 XGP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, showing a consistent maintenance trend despite intermittent testing failures. The most recent inspection on 18 July 2025 at 124,840 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following an immediate failure on the same day. This suggests that the owner was able to rectify any identified issues quickly to maintain legal roadworthiness. Since that last test nearly a year ago, the vehicle has operated without a recorded MOT, but the historical lack of advisories indicates a clean mechanical baseline. The mileage profile reflects a high-use pattern, averaging approximately 12,500 miles per year over its ten-year life. Between August 2023 and August 2024, the car covered 6,748 miles, representing a period of lower usage compared to the average. However, the mileage accelerated again with 6,973 miles covered between August 2024 and July 2025. This steady annual accumulation is typical of a motorway vehicle, which generally places more predictable wear on drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and brake assemblies compared to low-mileage city cars. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking systems, as the high mileage often accelerates the degradation of rubber components and shock absorber seals. While the record does not show recurring structural corrosion, the failures in 2023 and 2025 indicate that the vehicle requires proactive attention to items that fail under scrutiny. Inspect for play in the front control arms and check the condition of the brake calipers to ensure the high volume of miles has not led to uneven pad wear or thinning discs.
