2019 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · BK19 XKN

The 2019 Ford Mondeo exhibits a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent MOT on 2025-05-02 confirming no defects at 104,178 miles. Previous tests from 2024-05-22 and 2023-05-24 also passed without issues, though a failed test on 2023-05-18 at identical mileage (95,531 miles) raises questions about potential unresolved concerns. The absence of recorded defects in later tests suggests any prior issues were addressed, but the repeated same-mileage failure and pass warrants scrutiny. No structural, suspension, or braking deficiencies were flagged in the latest assessment, indicating the vehicle remains compliant with safety standards. The vehicle’s mileage of 104,178 miles over seven years equates to an average of 14,883 miles annually, exceeding typical usage for its age. Notable gaps in the MOT history include a 13,541-mile increase between 2022-07-12 (81,990 miles) and 2023-05-24 (95,531 miles), followed by a 1,887-mile rise to 2024-05-22, and a 6,760-mile jump to 2025-05-02. The 2023-05-18 failure at 95,531 miles, coinciding with the 2024 test, suggests either a data inconsistency or minimal usage during that period. While the MOT record lacks defects, the high annual mileage implies accelerated wear on consumables and mechanical components, necessitating closer inspection. A buyer should prioritise checking the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage, and assess brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or corrosion. The failed 2023 test, though unrecorded as defective, may indicate minor issues requiring resolution. Structural integrity should also be verified, particularly around the chassis and body seams, to rule out hidden rust or damage. Despite the latest MOT’s clean bill, the irregular mileage progression and unresolved 2023 failure warrant a pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical condition.
