2015 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · CV15 YGD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift toward neglected braking and suspension component wear. The most recent test in October 2025 at 69,659 miles identified multiple brake-related defects, including worn front discs, thin rear pads, and a binding nearside rear service brake. While the vehicle passed, the accumulation of these faults suggests that the previous owner was reacting to MOT failures rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per year. The record shows a steady progression from 49,726 miles in September 2021 to 69,659 miles in late 2025. This low annual mileage suggests the car has not been subjected to high-distance stress, but low mileage often correlates with therelated degradation of rubber-based components and corrosion on metal surfaces due to inactivity, which aligns with the binding and pitting issues noted in the more recent tests. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and suspension geometry. The recurring issue of tyres worn on the edges across 2022, 2023, and 2024 indicates a persistent alignment problem or worn suspension bushes that has not been addressed. Furthermore, the reported binding rear brake and pitted discs in the October 2025 test require a close look to ensure calipers are not seized and fully replaced. You should also check for significant structural corrosion on the underbody, as the history indicates an owner who does not prioritise mechanical rust prevention or routine upkeep.
