2005 Ford Mondeo 2.2L Diesel · CF55 LLX

The 2005 Ford Mondeo presents a broadly stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent test on 4 May 2022 returning a pass at 125,323 miles and no defects recorded. Prior to that, the 31 March 2021 test also passed clean at 120,705 miles. The vehicle avoided any advisories across its later history, suggesting the recent upkeep met minimum statutory standards. Annual mileage sits low for a 21-year-old car at roughly 5,968 miles per year. The records show a gentle climb: 115,495 miles at the December 2019 failure, 115,597 miles six days later on the pass, then 120,342 miles at the December 2020 failure, 120,705 in March 2021, and 125,323 by May 2022. A notable gap exists between the 2020 and 2021 tests spanning roughly fifteen weeks, and no MOT data exists beyond May 2022, leaving the current condition unverified for over four years. The two failures in December 2019 and December 2020 carry no recorded defects, which points to administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than mechanical faults. Still, a buyer should physically inspect the Mondeo for age-related corrosion on structural members, suspension bushes, and brake discs given the long idle period since the last test. Verify the odometer against service stamps, as the low mileage may reflect standing storage that accelerates rubber perishing and fluid degradation. Confirm there is no outstanding recall or latent rust on subframes before purchase.
