2008 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Petrol · AG58 RFE

The 2008 Ford Mondeo presents as roadworthy following a pass at 66,963 miles on 30 April 2025, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent test showed no defects, though a failure was logged just eight days earlier on 22 April 2025 at 66,857 miles with no defects recorded, a pattern consistent with an administrative or retest anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Prior annual tests in 2024, 2023, and 2022 all passed cleanly with no advisories raised. The odometer reads 66,963 miles against an eighteen-year lifespan, equating to roughly 3,720 miles per year. This is low for the model age. The car covered 3,788 miles between the May 2022 test at 56,214 miles and the April 2023 test at 59,295 miles, then 3,788 miles again to May 2024 at 63,083 miles, and 3,880 miles to April 2025. The sparse, clean record gives no evidence of rapid accumulation or neglected intervals, though low use over long periods can mask perished rubber components and corrosion not captured by a pass result. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers, as these items degrade with age and standing even when MOT tests record no advisories. The absence of any flagged structural rust or exhaust emissions failures across five years suggests the previous keeper stored the car reasonably, but the 2025 failure with no listed defect warrants confirmation that the V5C and DVSA records align. Given the low annual mileage, check tyres for sidewall cracking and flat spots from prolonged static load.
