2015 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · EN15 NGY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a successful MOT on 22 August 2025 at 100,268 miles. This pass followed an immediate failure just one day prior, which identified several critical issues including missing registration plate lamps, a malfunctioning tyre pressure monitoring system, and significantly worn rear brake pads and discs. While the most recent result shows no defects, the failure pattern suggests a reactive approach to maintenance rather than proactive servicing. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,115 miles per year. The record shows steady usage, moving from 50,850 miles in January 2020 to 100,268 miles in August 2025. There are no significant gaps in usage that would suggest long periods of inactivity, which helps mitigate concerns regarding seized components or perished rubber seals often found in low-use vehicles. A buyer should focus heavily on the braking system and suspension. The MOT history shows a recurring trend of brake pad wear, with failures in August 2021 and August 2025 specifically noting pads below the 1.5mm threshold. The August 2024 test also flagged an oil leak, which, while not excessive at the time, requires physical inspection to ensure it is not a developing gasket or seal failure. The fracture of a nearside front coil spring in August 2023 indicates that suspension components are reaching the end of their service life. Tyre maintenance appears inconsistent throughout the vehicle's life. Multiple tests, including July 2022 and February 2019, flagged tyres at or below the legal limit. While the most recent test passed without tyre advisories, the history of legality issues suggests the owner may wait until components fail or reach critical limits before replacing them. A thorough inspection of the current tyre tread, sidewall integrity, and the condition of the suspension bushes is advised.
