2008 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · CE08 PLV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on January 13 2025 at 187,012 miles. While the record shows a failure just one mile prior to that test with no recorded defects, the subsequent pass indicates a minor administrative or non-related mechanical failure. The lack of advisories across the last three successful tests suggests the vehicle is currently maintained in a clean condition without immediate structural or critical mechanical defects requiring urgent attention. At 187,012 miles over 18 years, the Mondeo averages approximately 10,390 miles per annum, which aligns closely with typical national averages for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 12,000 miles covered between December 2022 and December 2023, and another 12,000 miles recorded between January 2024 and January 2025. This regularity suggests the vehicle has been driven consistently, which often prevents the seal failures and brake corrosion associated with long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-mileage components that typically show wear despite a clean MOT history. Given the 187,000 mile mark, examine the front control arm bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers for signs of perished rubber or leaking. You should also inspect the underside for surface corrosion on the sills and rear mounting points, as MOT tests only flag structural rust once it reaches a specific threshold of failure.
