Our Verdict
A solid purchase option for those seeking a high-mileage diesel saloon. The recent MOT history is notably clean, with no recorded defects in the last five years of testing.
When inspecting this 2.0L diesel Mondeo, focus on the service history to ensure the timing belt and water pump have been replaced according to manufacturer intervals, as this is a critical maintenance item for this engine. Given the mileage has surpassed 119,000, check for any signs of turbocharger wear or issues with the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), which can be common in high-mileage diesel engines used for short trips.
Negotiate based on the upcoming service requirements and the age of the tyres. Although no MOT failures were recorded for tyres on this specific vehicle, they are a top failure reason for this model across the wider dataset. Ensure the brake pipes and anti-roll bar components are in good condition, as these are statistically common failure points for the Mondeo.
As a 1997cc diesel, this Mondeo is designed for efficient long-distance cruising, though actual fuel economy will depend heavily on driving style and load. Tax and insurance groups for a 2011 Mondeo vary, but you should expect mid-range costs typical for a large family car.
Maintenance costs for this model tend to be manageable due to the wide availability of parts, but at nearly 120,000 miles, you should budget for wear-and-tear items such as suspension components and exhaust systems. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic maintenance, is approximately £1,400-£1,700.
Directly reference the MOT history, which shows no defects in the last five years; however, you should still inspect the underside for corrosion. The model aggregate data identifies brake pipes and anti-roll bars as frequent failure points, so check these specifically for leaks or excessive play.
Additionally, check the condition of the tyres and brakes. While this specific vehicle has passed its recent tests without issue, the high mileage means components like dampers and bushings may be nearing the end of their functional life. Ensure the engine runs smoothly at idle and does not exhibit excessive smoke, which could indicate issues with the diesel combustion system.
This 2011 Ford Mondeo, finished in white, has covered 119,761 miles since its first registration in March 2011. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passes from 2022 through to 2026, with no recorded failures or defects across the five most recent tests. While the mileage is higher than the model's average annual figure, the lack of recent MOT issues is a positive indicator for a vehicle of this age.
Across 250,679 analysed vehicles, the Ford Mondeo has an average MOT pass rate of 78.1%, with common failures related to tyres, anti-roll bars, and brake pipes.
