2011 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Petrol · EO11 KZF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive repairs. While the car passed its most recent test in January 2026 at 151,432 miles, it carried advisories for corroded rear coil springs and pitted rear brake discs. These issues are direct continuations from the 2025 test, indicating that the owner is only addressing components once they reach the point of MOT failure or advisory rather than replacing them upon early signs of degradation. At 151,432 miles, this 15-year-old Ford has averaged approximately 10,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The record shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 5,400 miles driven between January 2024 and January 2025, and another 4,800 miles between February 2025 and January 2026. This steady mileage suggests the vehicle is used regularly, which helps prevent internal corrosion but accelerates the wear on mechanical components. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the suspension and braking system. The history repeatedly flags reduced damping in front shock absorbers and excessively worn trailing arm bushes on the rear axle, both of which affect handling and cause uneven tyre wear. The persistent mention of corrosion on the rear coil springs suggests a risk of structural failure if the metal continues to degrade. Furthermore, the rear brake discs have shown consistent pitting and scoring over three years, implying they are nearing the limit for replacement to ensure effective stopping performance.
