2014 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · AF64 ACU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy based on its latest MOT result from 2025-11-28 at 90,558 miles, which recorded a pass with no defects. However, the absence of subsequent tests since this date raises concerns about maintenance continuity. The MOT history shows no recurring mechanical issues, and the lack of advisories or failures in prior tests indicates a stable maintenance trend over the past three years. The most recent test, however, predates the current date by over a year, suggesting the car may not have been inspected for an extended period. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging 7,546 miles annually. Tests at 73,152 (2023-12-06) and 81,654 (2024-12-04) miles show consistent intervals of approximately 12 months, with no significant gaps or rapid accumulation. The 2025-11-28 test at 90,558 miles marks the first test in over a year, which may indicate reduced usage or neglect. The absence of defects in all recorded tests suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained, though the lack of recent data limits confidence in its current condition. A physical inspection should prioritise suspension components, particularly bushings and coil springs, which degrade over time without visible warning. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, warrant scrutiny for corrosion or uneven wear, as these often emerge in older vehicles. The exhaust system and underbody should also be checked for rust, as prolonged inactivity can accelerate corrosion. While the MOT history shows no critical failures, the extended gap since the last test necessitates thorough verification of fluid levels, tyre condition, and structural integrity before purchase.
