2021 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · AF71 MKO

The 2021 Ford Mondeo presents a stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 21 November 2025 at 32,786 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass on 7 August 2025 confirms the vehicle is currently sound. The maintenance trend shows no worsening faults across the available history. Recorded mileage sits at 32,786 against an approximate five-year age, equating to roughly 6,557 miles per year and reflecting typical use for this model. The jump from 23,439 miles at the 2 September 2024 test to 31,148 miles by August 2025 shows about 7,700 miles added in under a year, a modest rise that stays within normal bounds. The DVSA data is sparse but clean, with only four entries and no advisories logged on any pass. One anomaly warrants a buyer's attention. The test on 6 August 2025 failed at 31,148 miles yet recorded no defects, with a pass issued the following day on 7 August 2025. This suggests an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault, but the buyer should verify with the selling party that no concealed issue prompted the initial failure. Given the absence of flagged items, no recurring wear on tyres, suspension bushes, brake discs, or corrosion appears in the record. A pre-purchase inspection should still confirm structural integrity and check for early consumable wear not captured by MOT, such as wiper blades or minor fluid degradation. The low annual mileage implies lighter duty, though standing periods can allow brake calipers to seize or tyres to crack. The history gives no cause for concern, but physical verification remains prudent on any used purchase.
