2005 Ford Mondeo 2.2L Diesel · CV55 OPG

The 2005 Ford Mondeo presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed the most recent MOT on 23 August 2023 at 181,795 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history. The vehicle cleared the August 2021 test at 169,473 miles and passed again in September 2022 at 175,632 miles, with the latest pass confirming no outstanding advisories. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical rate for a 21-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,657 miles per year. The record shows 169,473 miles in August 2021, rising to 175,632 by September 2022 and 181,795 by August 2023, a steady annual increase of around 6,000 to 6,700 miles with no abrupt jumps. Two failed tests on 23 August 2023 and 1 September 2022 both list no defects at 181,794 and 175,632 miles respectively, indicating administrative or presentation issues rather than mechanical faults, though the duplicate entries on the same dates suggest clerical rejections rather than owner neglect of wear items. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and corrosion given the vehicle's age and 181,795 miles. The clean MOT record means no suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or exhaust emissions were flagged, but the absence of advisories does not preclude worn consumables or latent rust on sills and subframes. Verify the brake calipers operate free of binding and confirm tyre tread depth and wiper condition, as these were not recorded as defects yet remain routine wear points on a high-mileage Mondeo of this era.
