2015 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · EA65 YRY

This Ford Mondeo has demonstrated a stable but inconsistent roadworthiness pattern, with the most recent MOT test on 2025-07-11 resulting in a double entry—one pass and one fail at identical mileage (92,145). The lack of recorded defects across all five tests suggests the vehicle has not encountered major mechanical failures during official inspections, though the duplicate entries raise suspicion of either administrative error or a brief period of non-compliance with testing intervals. No advisories or faults were logged, meaning the tester did not identify any issues requiring immediate attention at the time of inspection. The mileage progression shows a consistent annual average of approximately 8,377 miles, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps or abrupt spikes in mileage between tests, though the 2024-2025 interval (9,731 miles in a year) is slightly higher than the previous average. This suggests the vehicle has been driven regularly without prolonged periods of neglect or extended storage, which could have accelerated wear on components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake calipers. Given the absence of recorded faults, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on high-wear areas that are not routinely checked during an MOT. The suspension—particularly rear bushes and coil springs—should be examined for excessive play or corrosion, as these are common failure points in vehicles of this age and mileage. Binding or unevenly worn brake calipers and discs, especially if the vehicle has been driven at higher annual mileages recently, warrant close scrutiny. Additionally, the structural integrity of wheel arches and sills should be inspected for corrosion, as this is often overlooked until it compromises critical components like brake lines or suspension mounts. The double MOT entry in 2025 also justifies verifying the vehicle’s service history for brake fluid changes, differential fluid levels, and timing belt condition if applicable.
