2011 Ford Mondeo 2.2L Diesel · EX11 MDK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy based on the most recent MOT test dated 17 March 2026, which was passed with no advisories or defects recorded. A clean pass on a fifteen-year-old Mondeo with no flagged items suggests the components inspected at the test centre met the required standards at that moment. The maintenance trend over the recorded period is broadly stable. The car passed three consecutive tests in 2023, 2025, and 2026 without recorded defects, and the single failure in March 2024 also appears to have no defects logged, which is unusual for a documented fail. This may indicate an administrative entry rather than a mechanical concern, but it remains a minor point worth clarifying with the seller or DVSA records. The mileage pattern is notable for a vehicle of this age. Covering 88,668 miles over roughly fifteen years equates to an average of about 5,900 miles annually, which is well below the typical mileage for a Mondeo of this generation. Such a low figure may reflect periods of extended standing, limited commuting use, or possible under-recording. The five recorded tests span from March 2023 to March 2026, leaving a gap before 2023 with no MOT history available in this record, which limits long-term trend analysis. A buyer should confirm consistent mileage progression between the documented tests and verify the gap prior to 2023. Given the absence of advisories across the recorded tests, there is no specific recurring fault pattern to highlight from the MOT history. However, a physical inspection should still focus on the areas commonly affected in high-mileage or age-related wear on this model. Particular attention should be paid to the front suspension components, including control arm bushes, wishbones, and coil springs, as these deteriorate with age regardless of mileage. The braking system should be examined for corroded discs, seized caliper slides, and worn pad material, especially around the rear hubs. A thorough check for structural corrosion along the wheel arches, sills, and subframe mounting points is also advisable, as these areas are prone to rust on early-2010s Fords. Finally, given the low recorded mileage, the age of rubber components such as tyres, coolant hoses, drive belts, and suspension bushes should be confirmed, as deterioration occurs with time even without heavy use.
