2007 Ford Mondeo 1.8L Petrol · DM07 AAA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent clean record over the last three years. The most recent test conducted on 24 May 2025 at 68,624 miles passed with no recorded defects, maintaining a streak of three consecutive clean passes following a single failure in 2022. This trend suggests that the current owner maintains the vehicle to a standard that meets all DVSA safety and emissions testing requirements without immediate mechanical intervention. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,612 miles per year. Between May 2023 and May 2025, the car covered only 5,991 miles, indicating very light use or long periods of stationary operation. While this low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it often invites issues related to age-related rubber parts and fluids. The intervals between the annual tests remain regular, suggesting the vehicle has not been neglected for years despite the low distance covered. Despite the lack of recorded advisories, a buyer must inspect for age-related degradation common in low-mileage older Fords. Check for cracking in suspension bushes, perished brake hoses, and signs of corrosion on the exhaust system which MOT tests may not flag. Because the car sits infrequently, verify that the brake discs are not heavily pitted and that calipers are not seizing. Additionally, inspect the tyres for flat spots or sidewall cracking, as rubber degrades over time regardless of tread depth.
