2006 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · EN06 VNV

The 2006 Ford Mondeo presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 22 March 2022 at 124,338 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the available history is stable, showing no recurring advisories or mechanical faults. The record is sparse but clean, with only minor administrative failures logged immediately before passes in 2020 and 2022. Annual mileage sits at roughly 6,217 miles per year against the 124,338 recorded, which is typical for a two-decade-old vehicle. The data shows very low usage: between the 26 February 2020 test at 121,148 miles and the 22 March 2021 test at 122,130 miles, the car covered just 982 miles in thirteen months. From March 2021 to March 2022 it added a mere 2,208 miles. Such low accumulation suggests extended standing periods, which on a 2006 Mondeo raises the risk of perished rubber components and seized mechanisms rather than high-wear fatigue. The two failures on 26 February 2020 and 21 March 2022 both list no defects recorded, indicating the car failed on administrative grounds such as documentation or presenter error rather than mechanical condition. Previous owners appear to have kept basic statutory testing current, though the absence of any advisories across four passes means worn suspension bushes, corroding subframes, or tired brake discs were either absent or overlooked by testers. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, given the car's age and low-use pattern. Check coil springs for fracturing, brake calipers for binding after standstill, and tyre sidewalls for cracking from age. The clean MOT ledger offers reassurance, but twenty years without flagged wear does not exempt the Mondeo from age-related degradation invisible to a pass-only record.
