2014 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · CU64 NBK

The current MOT status is valid until October 2026, with the most recent test in October 2025 showing a mixed maintenance trend. While the vehicle has consistently passed its annual inspections, the emergence of a corroded rear brake pipe and tyre wear issues suggests that the standard of preventative maintenance has slipped slightly compared to the clean pass recorded in 2024. The presence of grease or material covering the brake pipe is a point of concern, as this often indicates an attempt to mask corrosion rather than addressing the underlying structural degradation of the hydraulic system. The vehicle has covered 82,365 miles over twelve years, averaging approximately 6,860 miles annually. This usage pattern is consistent and avoids the risks associated with long periods of inactivity or excessive high-mileage wear. The mileage accumulation has remained steady throughout the recorded history, with no significant gaps or irregular spikes that would suggest periods of neglect or heavy commercial use. The consistent annual testing intervals indicate that the vehicle has remained in regular operation throughout its life. Prospective buyers should prioritise a thorough inspection of the rear suspension and braking components. The 2020 record highlighted extensive corrosion on the rear coil springs, back plates, and suspension arm bushes, which suggests the underside is prone to oxidation. Although these items passed subsequent tests, the recurring issues with rear tyres and the recent brake pipe defect indicate that the rear axle assembly requires close scrutiny. You must verify that the brake pipe has been professionally replaced rather than cleaned or treated, and check the rear coil springs for any signs of recent structural failure or further corrosion.
