2006 Ford Mondeo 2.2L Diesel · DF06 DWZ

The vehicle presents a historically stable roadworthiness profile, though the most recent record indicates a lapse in compliance. The test conducted on 28 July 2022 at 162,052 miles resulted in a failure without specific defects recorded in the summary, which suggests an administrative or non-specific technical failure rather than a systemic mechanical collapse. Prior to this, the car maintained a clean record from 2018 through 2021 with no advisories noted, indicating a period of consistent mechanical upkeep. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a twenty-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,100 miles per annum. Between July 2018 at 127,022 miles and July 2021 at 154,989 miles, the car covered 27,967 miles, representing a steady usage pattern of roughly 9,300 miles per year. This regularity suggests the vehicle was not subjected to long periods of neglect or heavy-duty use. However, the four-year gap since the last 2022 MOT entry means the vehicle is currently unmotored and unroadworthy. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the chassis and suspension components due to the vehicle's age and high-mile status. While the history lacks recorded advisories, Ford Mondeos of this era are notoriously prone to structural corrosion in the rear subframe and sills. The buyer should also check for seized brake calipers and perished control arm bushes, as these often degrade over time regardless of mileage. Given the car has likely sat for several years, the condition of rubber hoses and fuel lines requires a thorough evaluation to ensure no internal degradation has occurred during the period of inactivity.
