2018 Ford Mondeo 1.5L Diesel · AF18 AHJ

The vehicle has no recorded defects in its two most recent MOT tests, with the latest at 44,292 miles on 2022-02-14 showing no issues. The maintenance trend appears stable, as both tests passed without advisories. However, the absence of any MOT records post-2022 raises concerns about the current roadworthiness, as the vehicle may now be overdue for testing. The recorded mileage of 44,292 miles over eight years equates to approximately 5,536 miles annually, significantly below the UK average. The gap between the 2021-03-10 test (31,455 miles) and 2022-02-14 test (44,292 miles) suggests a sharp increase of 12,837 miles within 11 months, which could indicate sudden heavy use or potential odometer discrepancies. The sparse MOT history offers limited insight into long-term maintenance patterns, with no data to confirm consistent servicing. A buyer should inspect for signs of corrosion, particularly in areas prone to rust, given the low mileage and potential for prolonged inactivity. Suspension components, such as bushes and coil springs, may require checking for dryness or wear, as infrequent use can lead to stiffness. Brake systems should also be assessed for binding or uneven disc wear, as the lack of recent testing may mask gradual degradation. Verifying the current MOT status is critical, as the vehicle’s last recorded test predates the current date by over four years.
