2018 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · EG18 KUP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs regarding consumable components. The most recent test in June 2025 at 70,376 miles passed with a single defect regarding an insecure trailer electrical socket. This specific fault has persisted through the three previous tests dating back to 2023, indicating a recurring mechanical oversight or a failure to address a minor electrical fitting issue despite repeated MOT flags. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual use for this age, averaging approximately 8,800 miles per year. Between July 2022 at 42,931 miles and June 2025 at 70,376 miles, the car covered nearly 28,000 miles, suggesting steady usage patterns. There are no significant gaps in the testing history that would suggest long periods of stationary use, though the frequency of defects between 2023 and 2025 indicates the vehicle is now requiring more frequent attention. A buyer should pay close attention to the front braking system and front suspension alignment. The July 2023 test at 53,290 miles flagged thin front brake pads and worn, pitted discs, followed by a July 2024 test at 62,546 miles which noted an offside front tyre worn on the inner edge. This combination of faults suggests a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that may be causing uneven tyre wear. A physical inspection of the front bushings and the current tyre condition is necessary to ensure the wear pattern has not progressed into a structural failure.
