2008 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · EX58 MVS

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT data. The last recorded test, conducted on 31 January 2023 at 173,074 miles passed with no defects or advisories, indicating that the car met all minimum safety standards at that time. While a failure occurred in late January 2022, the immediate successful retest on the same day suggests the owner was proactive in rectifying identified faults to maintain road legality. At 173,074 miles over 18 years, the car averages approximately 9,600 miles per annum, which aligns with typical national averages for a vehicle of this age. The record shows a consistent pattern of use, with roughly 20,000 miles covered between July 2019 and January 2021, and another 12,600 miles in the year leading up to the 2022 test. However, there is a significant gap in the data, as the last recorded test was over over three years ago. Given the current date of June 2026, the mechanical state of the vehicle remains unverified by the official database. A buyer must account for the lack of recent testing since the January 2023 entry. High-mileage Mondeos of this era are prone to degradation of rubber components, specifically suspension bushes and control arm mounts, which perish regardless of mileage. Physical inspection should focus on the structural integrity on the sills and rear wheel arches, as these are common failure points for this chassis. Since no advisories were noted in the final pass, a thorough check of brake pad thickness and tyre tread depth is now essential to ensure no significant wear has occurred during the three-year lapse in recorded inspections.
