2017 Ford Mondeo 1.5L Petrol · BL66 ABF

The 2017 Ford Mondeo presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT on 2025-10-23 confirming no defects at 67,970 miles. The prior year’s tests show consistent passing, including a 2024-10-29 MOT at 59,268 miles, despite an earlier failure on 2024-10-28 at the same mileage. While the failure without recorded defects is unusual, the absence of recurring issues in subsequent tests suggests the vehicle has maintained acceptable mechanical integrity. No structural corrosion, brake system faults, or suspension anomalies were flagged, indicating no immediate risks to safety or functionality. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging 7,552 miles annually. Gaps between MOTs span approximately 12 months, with no evidence of prolonged inactivity or excessive wear. The 2023-10-26 test at 49,743 miles and 2022-10-26 at 40,305 miles reveal steady, predictable accumulation. No rapid spikes or anomalies in mileage suggest the vehicle has been driven consistently rather than left idle, reducing concerns about component degradation from standing. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the suspension components, particularly the rear coil springs and bushings, as these are common wear points in older Fords. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or binding, though no such issues were recorded. The absence of corrosion reports is positive, but a thorough underbody examination is recommended to confirm structural soundness. No advisories or failures in the MOT history indicate urgent repairs, but routine maintenance checks on fluid levels and exhaust emissions would provide further assurance.
