2008 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · CV58 DBY

The 2008 Ford Mondeo presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed the most recent test on 3 September 2024 at 177,945 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, with the vehicle clearing every annual examination once a same-day retest resolved an administrative fail. No advisories or mechanical faults appear in any entry from 2022 through 2024, indicating the tester found no consumable wear or structural concerns requiring attention at those intervals. The recorded mileage shows typical use for an eighteen-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 9,886 miles per year. The odometer moved from 161,816 miles at the August 2022 test to 170,430 miles by August 2023, then to 177,945 miles by September 2024, a steady accumulation of around 7,600 to 8,600 miles annually. The sparse record shows clean passes with no flagged corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions issues across those three years of testing. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age and 177,945 miles, as the MOT record offers no visibility of hidden rust or worn coil springs that a visual test may not capture. The two failed entries on 2 September 2024 and 3 August 2022 at identical mileages to the subsequent passes suggest clerical or documentation errors rather than mechanical defects, so no recurring fault pattern warrants concern. Given the absence of advisories across all five tests, previous owners appear to have kept the Mondeo to a basic pass standard without neglected consumables reaching the failure threshold. Verify service history and inspect tyre tread depth, wiper blades, and binding calipers in person, as these items fall outside mandatory MOT defect reporting when within limits.
