2006 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Petrol · CE06 CZL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, following a clean pass in its most recent test in July 2024 at 80,891 miles. While the history shows two failures in 2022 and 2023, the owner successfully addressed the identified issues to achieve subsequent passes. The lack of advisories in the last two MOT records suggests that the vehicle is currently in a good mechanical state with all components meeting the minimum safety standards. The mileage profile is notably low for a twenty-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,045 miles per year. The data shows a significant jump of 13,256 miles between August 2022 and July 2023, followed by another 12,719 miles in the following year. This pattern indicates a period of infrequent use followed by more consistent annual driving recently. While low annual mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, it can also lead to age-related degradation of rubber components and seals over time. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the structural integrity and underbody, as low-mileage cars are prone to hidden corrosion if not driven regularly. The recorded failures recorded in 2022 and 2023 occurred over very short mileage intervals, suggesting specific component failures rather than a trend of mechanical decline. Pay close attention to the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake lines, which can become brittle regardless of low mileage. Given the age of the Mondeo, verify the condition of the tyres and rubber hoses to ensure they have not perished or degraded despite having sufficient tread depth.
