2004 Ford Mondeo 3.0L Petrol · AG04 LCW

The 2004 Ford Mondeo shows a stable roadworthiness trend with a current pass recorded on 8 August 2024 at 103,879 miles. The most recent test cycle produced a pass and a same-day fail with no defects logged, an administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests in July of 2021, 2022, and 2023 all passed with no advisories, so the vehicle has avoided escalating defects across the last four years. Annual mileage sits well below typical for a 22-year-old car. The record runs 83,677 miles in July 2021, 93,774 in July 2022, 100,501 in July 2023, and 103,879 by August 2024. That averages roughly 4,700 miles per year and implies light use, though the flat clean sheet across tests means we cannot see consumable or structural wear trends that advisories would normally reveal. The sparse history leaves gaps on component condition that only a physical inspection will close. A buyer should still verify suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for age-related degradation the MOT did not flag. Low mileage with long standing periods often hides corroding brake calipers and underbody rust not caught in a pass. The same-day fail with no defects suggests clerical error, but confirm the V5C and DVSA portal before purchase. Given the clean record, previous owners likely kept basic upkeep current, yet the absence of advisories means worn tyres or exhaust emissions issues may simply have been marginal. Inspect structural integrity at sills and subframes, as a 2004 Mondeo is prone to hidden corrosion despite low miles.
