2006 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · EO06 WMM

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach. While the most recent test in July 2025 at 102,420 miles resulted in a pass, the vehicle failed initially due to a non-functional stop lamp, windscreen damage, and a perishing tyre. The trend shows that mechanical faults are only addressed after a failure occurs, as evidenced by the presence of an oil leak in the 2025 record that remained unrepaired despite the previous failure. The mileage profile is notably low for a twenty-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,100 miles per year. However, there is a significant discrepancy in the records. The November 2023 test recorded 141,613 miles, while the July 2024 test showed only 97,055 miles. This 44,500-mile difference over six months suggests either a recording error or odometer tampering. Such historically low annual mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber components, which explains the perishing offside front tyre noted in 2025. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking systems. The history reveals recurring issues with these components, including a fractured rear coil spring in 2024 and a worn ball joint and leaking caliper noted in earlier entries. The oil leak flagged in the July 2025 test requires close monitoring to ensure it is merely a minor weep rather than a significant seal failure. Given the previous exhaust silencer leak in 2023, the entire structural integrity of the exhaust system should be checked for advanced corrosion, which is common on Mondeos of this age.
