2016 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · BP65 YOV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend in its most recent period. The latest MOT conducted on 30 December 2025 at 134,039 miles returned no defects, indicating that the previous owner has addressed outstanding wear-related issues. While the history shows intermittent failures related to consumables and minor lighting adjustments, the clean sheet from the most recent test suggests the car is currently in good mechanical condition for its age. At 134,039 miles over ten years, this Mondeo averages a high mileage of approximately 13,400 miles per year. This usage suggests consistent motorway driving rather than periods of inactivity, which often keeps drivetrain and suspension components moving. Between December 2023 at 128,073 miles and the December 2024 test at 132,230 miles, the vehicle covered a substantial 4,157 miles. This steady accumulation of mileage explains the routine wear of brake components and tyres noted between the annual testing intervals. A buyer should pay close attention to the front-end alignment and suspension given the recurring reports of uneven tyre wear. The record from January 2023 flagged a nearside front tyre worn on the inner edge, which often points to tracking issues or worn ball joints and bushes. Additionally, the 2024 test noted worn front brake discs, following a 2022 advisory regarding thin pads on both axles. A physical inspection should verify that the current braking system is not binding and that the tyres are not showing signs of premature uneven wear. The history shows a pattern of reactive maintenance for minor faults, such as replacing a damaged tyre in 2020 and fixing a windscreen in 2018. These are typical consumable failures rather than indicators of deep structural neglect. Given the high mileage, the buyer should also inspect the chassis for corrosion and check the engine bay for any signs of fluid leaks, to ensure that the long-term use of this high-mileage Ford has not resulted in significant mechanical fatigue.
