2008 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · AV08 MDF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a clean pass record over the last three years. Following a single failure in May 2021, the Mondeo passed three consecutive annual inspections without any recorded defects or advisories. The most recent test in May 2024 at 132,503 miles indicates that the vehicle met all DVSA standards for mechanical safety and structural integrity at that point in time. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent with the vehicle's eighteen-year age, averaging approximately 7,360 miles per year. Between May 2021 and May 2024, the car covered 23,095 miles, representing a steady usage pattern of roughly 7,700 miles per annum. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to long periods of stationary neglect, which helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and brake caliper seizing due to lack of use. Despite the clean MOT history in the recent three years, a buyer must perform a physical inspection of common wear points for a Mondeo of this generation. Focus should be placed on structural corrosion along the sills and rear suspension mounting points, as these areas are prone to rust that may not always trigger a failure until it becomes significant. Check the condition of the suspension arm bushes and shock absorbers, as the consistent mileage implies standard mechanical wear on these components regardless of the clean test record.
