2007 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · AG07 LZP

The 2007 Ford Mondeo presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 14 March 2026 at 169,163 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. This follows four consecutive clean passes, indicating the vehicle has not shown worsening mechanical condition across the observed period. Recorded mileage rose from 142,462 in January 2022 to 169,163 by March 2026, an accumulation of roughly 26,700 miles over four years. Annual averages sit near 6,700 miles, below the 8,900-mile norm for the age. The gap between the January 2023 test and the March 2024 test spanned fourteen months rather than twelve, but no failure or advisory interrupted the sequence. The DVSA history shows no flagged corrosion, suspension wear, brake defects, or exhaust issues at any stage. A clean MOT sheet across five years suggests previous owners kept basic consumables and structural items within test limits. Buyers should still commission an independent inspection of subframe and sill corrosion, as the Mondeo of this era suffers hidden rust where the tester cannot see without lifting panels. Check suspension bushes and coil springs for age-related cracking, and verify brake disc thickness and caliper operation despite no advisories. Given the 19-year age and 169,163 miles, expect imminent wear on dampers, drop links, and clutch if manual. The absence of recorded faults implies competent upkeep rather than concealed defects, but physical verification of tyre sidewall condition and undertray security remains prudent before purchase.
