2017 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · AP17 ADZ

The 2017 Ford Mondeo presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent DVSA test on 10 October 2025 at 96,170 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Across five consecutive annual examinations from 2021 to 2025, the vehicle cleared every test without a single advisory or failure. This consistent clean sheet indicates the maintenance trend is stable, with no worsening mechanical or structural issues logged by testers. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical use for a nine-year-old vehicle. The record shows 46,160 miles at the 22 October 2021 test, rising to 60,465 miles by 11 October 2022, then 73,539 miles on 11 October 2023, 86,333 miles on 7 October 2024, and 96,170 miles by 10 October 2025. Annual increments average roughly 10,600 miles, matching the expected ~10,686 miles per year. No anomalous gaps or rapid accumulation appear; the odometer progression is linear and the history is sparse in advisories but clean. Despite the unblemished MOT ledger, a buyer should still commission a physical inspection of age-sensitive components before purchase. DVSA testers flagged no corrosion, worn suspension bushes, fractured coil springs, binding calipers or lipped brake discs during the examinations, yet nine years of service and near-100,000 miles inevitably loads these parts. Examine subframe and sills for structural rust, assess front lower arm bushes for play, and measure brake disc thickness and pad wear. Verify exhaust emissions remain within limits given the powertrain's age. The absence of any recorded tyre or wiper blade advisories across the timeline suggests previous owners addressed consumables promptly, but confirm tread depth and rubber condition visually. Given the final test dated October 2025 sits roughly nine months before today, the vehicle remains recently certified, though a fresh pre-sale check is prudent.
