2005 Ford Mondeo 2.2L Diesel · AF55 NVY

The 2005 Ford Mondeo presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 17 March 2026 at 211,019 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing a four-year run of clean certificates. The owner has clearly kept the vehicle to a standard that satisfies annual statutory inspection without accruing advisories. Recorded mileage tracks closely to typical use for a 21-year-old car, averaging roughly 10,000 miles per year. The odometer moved from 171,323 miles at the March 2023 pass to 191,416 by March 2024, then 199,832 in March 2025 and 211,019 in March 2026. The sparse record shows one anomaly: a failure on 21 March 2023 at 171,319 miles, retested and passed one day later at 171,323 miles with no defects listed either time, suggesting an administrative or minor non-mechanical rejection rather than a repair gap. Given the absence of flagged suspension bushes, brake disc wear, coil spring fractures, or structural corrosion across the history, the Mondeo shows no recurring mechanical fault pattern. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of subframe and sills for hidden rust, check the condition of tyres and wiper blades as consumables, and verify the brake calipers are free from binding given the high total mileage. The clean advisory sheet implies previous owners addressed issues before test rather than deferring them. At 211,019 miles the drivetrain and running gear carry expected fatigue risk, so a pre-purchase appraisal of engine mounts, exhaust emissions, and steering joints remains prudent despite the spotless MOT ledger.
