2018 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · DG68 ADV

The 2018 Ford Mondeo presents a currently roadworthy status, with the most recent MOT test on 7 March 2025 at 152,606 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Across the supplied history the maintenance trend is stable, showing consecutive passes from December 2022 through March 2025 aside from an anomalous failure on 12 December 2023 at identical mileage that logged no faults. The vehicle exhibits no worsening mechanical pattern in the official record. Mileage stands at 152,606 over roughly eight years, equating to about 19,000 miles annually and marking the car as high-use for its age. The odometer advanced from 118,354 at the 6 December 2022 test to 129,292 by 18 December 2023, then to 145,067 on 18 December 2024, and finally 152,606 by 7 March 2025. That final jump of 7,539 miles in under three months signals a period of intensified motorway or commercial-style driving. The documented gaps are sparse, with only five tests logged, and the clean advisory columns suggest either diligent servicing or limited scrutiny during each examination. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of core wear items given the high accumulated distance. The Mondeo's suspension bushes, front lower arms, and coil springs warrant close checking for degradation not captured by the bare pass results. Brake discs and calipers may show heat cracking or binding after sustained high-speed use, while the exhaust system and underbody should be examined for corrosion typical of vehicles covering large annual totals. The unexplained failure on 12 December 2023 with no defects recorded merits a DVSA certificate check to confirm no administrative or presentation issue lingers.
