2021 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · EG07 LEE

The most recent MOT, dated 30 January 2026, was a clean pass at 82,230 miles with no recorded defects. That suggests the car is currently road‑legal and the last inspection found nothing overtly wrong. The only recurring issue in the MOT record is the front‑brake wear noted in November 2023. At that time both front discs were described as “worn, but not excessively” and the pads were “wearing thin”. The same MOT also recorded a near‑side rear tyre that was below the legal tread depth. Those two items caused a failure on 16 November 2023, but they do not appear on the later 2024 and 2026 passes, implying that the brakes and tyres were replaced or serviced after the failure. From a trend perspective the car moved from a clean pass in 2022 (7,604 mi) to a failure in 2023 (36,034 mi) and then back to clean passes in 2024 (74,019 mi) and 2026 (82,230 mi). The mileage jump of roughly 38,000 miles between 2023 and 2024 indicates a period of heavy use, and the overall average of about 16,500 miles per year is high for a five‑year‑old Mondeo. High mileage can accelerate wear on consumables such as brakes, tyres, suspension bushings and drivetrain components, even if the MOTs have not yet recorded defects. Because the MOT history is otherwise clean, there are no obvious chronic faults, but the high annual mileage and the past brake/tyre issue mean a buyer should treat those areas as the most likely sources of future repair cost.
