2011 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · EO11 ULW

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently unsafe, as the MOT record demonstrates a clear deterioration in mechanical condition following the 2023-08-22 test. While the 2023-08-22 test passed with no defects at 170,869 miles, the subsequent 2023-07-18 test failed at 170,578 miles, indicating a significant drop in performance and a failure to maintain the safety standards established by the 2023-08-22 date. This sequence of failures suggests that the vehicle has not been adequately serviced since the 2023-08-22 test, placing it at risk of imminent failure. The mileage pattern indicates rapid accumulation of wear, particularly concerning suspension and drivetrain components. The vehicle's mileage increased from 109,002 miles in 2020 to 170,869 miles in 2023, representing a total of 61,867 miles in a single year. This rapid growth suggests that the owner may have avoided regular servicing during the 2020-2023 period, neglecting critical components such as suspension bushings, coil springs, and binding calipers. The absence of defects in the 2023-08-22 test further confirms that these previously identified issues were not resolved or corrected prior to the 2023-08-22 test, leaving the vehicle in a state of potential structural integrity risk. Given the recurring faults and the lack of corrective maintenance, the buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to assess the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, and binding calipers. The 2023-07-18 test failure indicates that the vehicle is not in the same condition as the 2023-08-22 test, and the 2020-2023 period of rapid mileage accumulation implies that the vehicle has not received adequate lubrication or adjustment for these components. A thorough inspection is required to verify the status of these parts and to determine if the vehicle is still a safe roadworthiness, or if further work is necessary to address the structural risks identified in the MOT history.
