2011 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · EO11 TSV

The Ford Mondeo presents a currently roadworthy status, with the most recent DVSA test on 27 August 2025 at 180,150 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Maintenance trend across the available history reads as stable, albeit interrupted by an anomalous failure on 14 August 2024 at 174,331 miles where the tester logged a fail yet cited no defects, immediately superseded by a pass on the same date at identical mileage. Such a pattern suggests consistent statutory compliance with no recurring mechanical faults emerging over the four-year span. Registered in 2011, the vehicle has covered approximately 180,150 miles over roughly fifteen years, equating to about 12,010 miles per annum and placing it above average use for its age. The recorded odometer readings show 161,029 miles on 24 August 2022, rising to 168,935 by 21 August 2023, then 174,331 on 14 August 2024, and finally 180,150 on 27 August 2025. Annual accumulation has eased from near 8,000 miles to around 5,500, indicating lighter recent use. The MOT dataset remains sparse, with only five entries and no advisories, implying the prior keeper addressed consumables before each test but left no paper trail of minor wear. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of high-mileage components that MOT sheets omit when no advisory is raised. Front and rear suspension bushes, coil springs, and anti-roll bar links warrant hands-on checks for degradation, as does the structural integrity of subframes where road salt corrosion may start. Brake discs and calipers need measuring for lip wear and binding despite the clean emissions and braking outcome. The absence of recorded defects across three consecutive passes signals the previous owner maintained basic roadworthiness, yet the unexplained 2024 failure warrants confirmation that no outstanding manufacturer recall or administrative flag persists. Given the mileage, scrutinise the drivetrain for gearbox or dual-mass flywheel wear typical of Mondeos used on motorways.
