2018 Ford Mondeo 1.5L Diesel · BN18 ACV

This Ford Mondeo presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass rate. The most recent MOT on 29 May 2025 at 100,257 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a trend of five consecutive passes without a single recorded failure or advisory, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that consistently meets minimum legal requirements. The mileage accumulation has increased significantly in recent years. Between February 2021 and February 2022, the car covered 24,619 miles. This high-usage pattern continued through May 2024 and May 2025, with the vehicle adding 3,130 miles in the final year of the record. Averaging over 12,500 miles annually puts this car in a high-mileage bracket for its age, which typically accelerates the wear of drivetrain components and suspension bushings. Despite the clean MOT history, the high mileage necessitates a targeted physical inspection. The absence of advisories is unusual for a vehicle crossing the 100,000-mile threshold, so a buyer should manually check for wear on the brake discs and pads. Focus should also be placed on the condition of the coil springs and shock absorbers, as these often degrade under high mileage even if they remain functional enough to pass a basic test. Check for any signs of corrosion on the chassis and subframes, as these are common weak points for this model that may not always be flagged until they become critical. Given the mileage, verifying the service history for timing belt and water pump replacements is essential, as these are critical maintenance items not covered by a standard MOT inspection.
