2017 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · BL66 AEA

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-12-22 at 48,053 miles recorded a PASS with no defects. Previous tests from 2024-12-23 (45,209 miles) and 2024-01-08 (41,934 miles) also showed PASSes, though one entry notes a FAILED result at the same mileage and date, which may reflect a data inconsistency. No defects were recorded across all tests, indicating a stable maintenance trend with no emerging mechanical or structural issues requiring immediate attention. The vehicle’s mileage of 48,053 miles at 9 years old equates to approximately 5,339 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for its age. This low usage suggests either infrequent operation or prolonged periods of inactivity, which could affect components like the battery, fluids, and rubber seals. A gap of 3,275 miles between the 2024-01-08 and 2024-12-23 tests raises questions about the vehicle’s operational history, though no defects were flagged to confirm underlying concerns. While no specific mechanical faults are documented, the low mileage and sparse defect history imply the buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, such as bushes and coil springs, which may degrade without regular use. A visual inspection of brake discs and calipers for corrosion or binding is also advised, as well as checking for signs of body rust, particularly in areas prone to moisture. The absence of advisories in the MOT record does not eliminate the need for a hands-on assessment to confirm the vehicle’s overall integrity.
