2011 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · AV11 FOM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent test on 27 February 2026 at 79,085 miles. While the record shows a technical test failure exactly one day prior at 79,082 miles, the lack of recorded defects suggests a potential administrative error or a minor sensor issue that was immediately rectified. Since March 2023, the car has maintained a consistent passing record without advisory notices or failures. The mileage pattern is notably low for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,200 miles per year. Between March 2023 and March 2024, the car covered 1,635 miles, followed by an increase to 1,484 miles in the year leading up to the latest test. This low usage typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, though long-term stationary low-mileage vehicles often suffer from the degradation of rubber-based components and brake systems due to lack of use. Given the absence of recorded faults in the MOT history, a physical inspection should focus on components affected by age rather than distance. Check the chassis for structural corrosion, particularly around the rear arches and sills, as moisture traps in these models develop over decades. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or perish, as the low mileage does not prevent rubber from hardening. Additionally, verify the brake discs for pitting or corrosion, which frequently occurs on vehicles that sit for extended periods between drives.
