2019 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · AF69 DOU

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the most recent inspection indicates a shift in preventative maintenance standards. While the car cleared its tests between 2022 and 2024 without any defects, the September 2025 test at 93,839 miles flagged both the nearside and offside front tyres as being worn close to the legal limit with uneven edge wear. This suggests a trend toward reactive maintenance where consumables are replaced upon failure rather than at intervals. The mileage profile reflects high-intensity usage, averaging approximately 13,400 miles per year which sits above the national average for a seven-year-old vehicle. A significant surge in usage occurred between September 2023 at 55,886 miles and September 2025 at 93,839 miles, covering over 38,000 miles in just two two-year period. This rapid accumulation places accelerated stress on the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and braking components, which often lead to premature component failure compared to lower-mileage examples. A buyer should physically inspect the front suspension geometry, as the uneven wear noted on the front tyres in the 2025 record often points to alignment issues or worn ball joints and bushes. Given the high annual mileage, a thorough check of the brake discs for thinning and caliper condition is necessary, as these components have endured significant friction. While no structural corrosion has appeared in the records yet, the high mileage necessitates a close look at the underbody and exhaust mounting for signs of fatigue or rust.
