2015 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · AX15 DFO

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass on March 30, 2026, at 166,319 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the record shows a pattern of addressing immediate issues to secure a pass. The failure in March 2026 occurred just four miles prior to the pass, suggesting a minor component defect such as a blown bulb or a sensor fault that was rectified instantly, rather than a deep-seated mechanical failure. At 11 years old, the 166,319 miles indicate this Mondeo has seen significant annual use, averaging approximately 15,120 miles per year. Consistent usage is evident in the data, with roughly 8,500 miles covered between April 2024 and March 2025, and another 7,131 miles between March 2025 and March 2026. This regular interval suggests the vehicle was used regularly for commuting or long distances, which typically prevents seal-related issues but accelerates wear on suspension bushings and drivetrain components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and underbody, as high-mileage vehicles of this age often suffer from perished control arm bushes and worn shock absorbers. While the MOT history lacks specific structural advisories, the high mileage increases the likelihood of corrosion on the exhaust system and subframe mounting points. Inspect the braking assembly for signs of binding calipers or uneven disc wear, as the consistent mileage accumulation puts substantial strain on the friction materials over a decade of operation.
