2011 Ford Mondeo 2.2L Diesel · EO61 FYB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The most recent test in June 2025 at 120,576 miles showed a pass despite advisories for worn front tyres and pitted front brake discs. While the car passed, the recurring nature of consumable wear issues suggests that the previous owner only addresses components once they approach legal limits or cause a failure, rather than performing scheduled preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. Between April 2022 and May 2023, the car covered over 18,000 miles, followed by a more standard accumulation of roughly 11,500 miles in 2024 and another 8,000 miles by mid-2025. This steady usage suggests the vehicle is used for regular commuting, which typically places consistent stress on the aged rubber components and braking hardware. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the front drivetrain, specifically the nearside CV boot which caused a failure in 2023 at 100,998 miles. Even if replaced since then, check for new signs of grease leakage or torn rubber which would indicate premature failure. The 2025 advisory regarding pitted front discs and worn tyres confirms that the front braking system is nearing the end of its effective life. Given the age of the Mondeo, the chassis should also be inspected for structural corrosion around the suspension mounting and rear, as these are common failure points for this model that are not always captured until they become severe.
