2008 Ford Mondeo 1.8L Diesel · AK08 RHT

The 2008 Ford Mondeo presents a stable roadworthiness trend with a clean pass at the most recent test on 2023-09-05 at 125,130 miles. Three consecutive MOT passes from 2021 through 2023 with no defects recorded indicate the previous keeper maintained the vehicle to a satisfactory standard for its age. The absence of advisories across this period suggests no minor wear items were flagged for near-term attention by examiners. Annual mileage averaged roughly 6,952 miles against the 18-year lifespan, a typical use profile for this model. The records show 105,174 miles on 2021-09-20, rising to 112,482 miles by 2022-09-02 and 125,130 miles at the final test in September 2023. This equates to around 7,300 miles per year between tests with no erratic jumps or long dormant gaps. The sparse three-entry history offers limited depth but confirms no failure episodes or repeated consumable neglect. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion given the vehicle's 2008 build date and 125,130 miles. The MOT record carries no flagged brake disc wear, binding calipers, or exhaust emission faults, yet testers recorded zero advisories which can mask gradual degradation outside the test bay. Prior to purchase, verify the cambelt and water pump service history and check for structural rust at sills and arches not always caught in a pass result. The clean MOT trail implies reasonable care, but 18 years of UK winter exposure demands hands-on scrutiny beneath the shell.
