2016 Ford Mondeo Zetec Econetic Tdci 1.5L Diesel · DP16 CVG

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable maintenance trend across its documented history. The most recent test on 27 November 2025 at 43,653 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This clean result mirrors the previous four annual tests, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard and has not suffered from recurring mechanical failures or structural deteriorations. The mileage pattern is consistently low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,365 miles per year. Between September 2022 at 32,726 miles and November 2024 at 40,337 miles, the car covered 7,611 miles, indicating consistent but light usage. The recent interval of 3,316 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests maintains this trend. Low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can occasionally lead to issues with seals if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. Because the MOT record shows no recurring faults, a buyer should focus physical inspection on areas associated with low-mileage storage. Check for dry cracking in rubber components such as suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, which can degrade due to age rather than use. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as infrequent use can prevent the pads from cleaning the rotors effectively. Additionally, verify the chassis for any signs of surface rust, although the clean test history suggests the structural integrity remains sound.
