2020 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · CK70 HRD

The most recent MOT from February 2026 shows a pass, but it reveals several immediate concerns regarding consumable wear. Both the front and rear brake pads are reported as wearing thin, and the offside front tyre is close to the legal limit and showing signs of uneven wear on the edge. There is a documented pattern of braking issues throughout the history. The vehicle failed in September 2023 due to thin rear pads and pitted rear discs, and the most recent MOT shows that all four pads are now nearing the end of their life. This indicates a trend of worsening wear on the braking components. The mileage of 116,043 miles is high for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging over 19,000 miles per year. This level of usage explains the frequent need to replace consumables like pads and tyres, and suggests the vehicle has undergone heavy, consistent use which may have impacted other mechanical areas. A buyer should first inspect the condition of the brakes, specifically checking the thickness of the pads and the surface of the discs for scoring. You should also check the tyres and look for signs of poor wheel alignment due to the reported edge wear. Finally, given the high mileage, pay close attention to any suspension or drivetrain noises during a test drive.
