2008 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · CK08 UAX

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile based on the available MOT data. The most recent test on 1 November 2023 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the car failed a test on 30 October 2023, the lack of recorded defects for that failure suggests a clerical error or a minor issue resolved immediately. The absence of advisories across multiple years indicates a vehicle that has been kept in a roadworthy state without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with the age of the car. It covered 5,736 miles between October 2022 and November 2023, and roughly 5,000 miles per year between 2020 and 2022. This steady usage suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of standing, which often leads to seized brake calipers or perished rubber components. The current reading of 160,805 miles is typical for a 2008 model. The MOT record is unusually clean for a vehicle of this age and mileage. No structural corrosion, suspension bush wear, or brake disc degradation has been flagged since 2020. This lack of data means the record does not highlight specific weaknesses, but it also means the buyer cannot rely on the history to confirm when major consumables were last replaced. A physical inspection should focus on common wear points for high-mileage Mondeos that MOT testers sometimes overlook. Check the condition of the coil springs for stress fractures and inspect the underside for surface rust on the chassis. Verify the service history for timing belt and water pump replacements, as these are critical maintenance items not captured in a standard MOT test.
