2016 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · DA09 DAZ

The 2016 Ford Mondeo presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 12 May 2025 at 48,681 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from May 2022 through May 2024 also passed cleanly. The only anomaly is a failed entry logged on 9 May 2023 at 33,155 miles with no defects recorded, immediately followed by a pass on the same day at identical mileage, which points to an administrative or process error at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage sits at roughly 4,868 miles against a ten-year-old car, a low figure for the model. The records show steady, light use: 27,991 miles in May 2022, 33,155 in May 2023, 40,239 in May 2024, and 48,681 in May 2025. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear. Low, consistent mileage of this kind typically signals gentle commuting or periods of standing, which can leave tyres, brake discs, and suspension bushes under-exercised rather than worn out. With no advisories or defects across the valid tests, the DVSA history gives no direct signal of suspension, braking, or structural concerns. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection given the car's age. Check suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing from low-use standing, confirm brake discs are free of corrosion and rear calipers are not binding, and inspect sills and subframes for structural rust. The clean record implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, but MOT passes alone do not certify component condition between tests.
