2007 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Petrol · BK57 FJC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean pass in August 2025 at 156,424 miles. However, the immediate mechanical history shows a pattern of reactive rather than proactive maintenance. A failure just eleven days prior to that successful test at 156,155 miles revealed critical brake wear, an insecure exhaust bracket, and a perished anti-roll bar joint cover. While these issues appear to have been rectified, the trend suggests the owner only addresses mechanical faults when necessitated by an MOT test failure. At 19 years old, the recorded mileage of 156,424 miles represents an average usage of approximately 8,200 miles per annum, which is consistent with typical domestic car use. The data shows a steady usage pattern, with the mileage increasing from 135,535 miles in August 2023 to 156,424 miles in August 2025. This consistent accumulation indicates the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, but it has placed significant mileage on rubber components, suspension bushings, and the braking system. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the front suspension, as the record flags recurring issues with suspension arm bushes and anti-roll bar joints across the 2023 and 2025 cycles. The frequent advisories regarding tyres worn unevenly on edges suggest potential alignment issues or worn shock absorbers that require attention. Given the previous failure for thin brake pads and a leaking fuel hose, a thorough check of the braking system for binding calipers and the integrity of the fuel lines is essential to ensure the repairs performed were comprehensive and not temporary fixes.
