Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The most recent MOT test on 2026-07-02 —just five days prior to today—confirms the vehicle passed without any defects, though the record also shows a duplicate entry for the same date, both marked as pass/fail at identical mileage. This suggests either an administrative error in the DVSA system or a brief, unresolved administrative hold rather than a genuine mechanical issue. The preceding test in 2025-07-03 similarly showed no defects, reinforcing a stable pattern of compliance with MOT standards over the past year. However, the absence of advisories or minor faults in any of the tests implies that while the vehicle meets current roadworthiness criteria, there is no documented history of pre-existing concerns that might warrant closer scrutiny. The recorded mileage of 156,709 miles at the latest test date indicates an average of approximately 22,387 miles per year , which is unusually high for a seven-year-old vehicle. Comparing this to the previous test in 2024-07-03 at 142,291 miles , the car accumulated 14,418 miles in just under a year , a rate that exceeds typical annual mileage for this class of vehicle. This rapid accumulation could imply consistent heavy usage, which may have accelerated wear on suspension components, brake systems, or drivetrain elements. The gap between tests is consistent at one year, but the lack of advisories in any of them means there is no evidence of deferred maintenance or recurring issues that might have been flagged. Given the clean MOT history without advisories, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension bushes and coil springs , particularly at the rear where binding or uneven wear is common under high mileage. The brake system—especially rear calipers and discs—should be checked for excessive heat fade or uneven wear, as high mileage often correlates with increased brake component stress. Structural integrity, particularly around wheel arches and sills, should also be assessed for corrosion, as seven years of exposure to varying conditions could have contributed to hidden rust. While the vehicle has not failed any tests, these areas are typically the first to show signs of accelerated wear beyond what would be expected from standard usage.

Our Verdict

This 2019 Ford Mondeo diesel is a high-m

Given the high annual mileage of around 24,000 miles, this Mondeo has clearly been used extensively, potentially for motorway commuting or commercial use. Buyers should expect wear on common service items and budget accordingly. The 2024 failure flagged a service brake efficiency below requirements alongside anti-roll bar ball joint wear on both sides — these are classic signs of a vehicle that has covered serious miles and may need suspension refresh work soon. When viewing, ask for any service history showing timing belt changes (typically due around 100,000 miles or six years for the 2.0 TDCi) and evidence of recent brake and tyre replacement.

The 2025 failure for front brake pads below 1.5mm and a tyre with exposed cords suggests the previous owner may have been running the vehicle to the absolute minimum safety thresholds. Negotiate accordingly — these items should ideally have been replaced before the test. A pre-purchase inspection by an independent garage is strongly recommended, particularly to assess the anti-roll bar bushes, brake system condition, and CV joint gaiters given the dampness advisory noted in the most recent test. Check that the diesel particulate filter has been regularly maintained, as high-mileage diesel Mondeos are prone to DPF issues if predominantly used for short journeys.

The 2.0-litre TDCi diesel Mondeo typically returns around 50-55 mpg on longer runs, dropping to 40-45 mpg in mixed driving, which is reasonable given the mileage this vehicle has covered. Road tax sits in a reasonable band for a Euro 6 diesel, though any future Clean Air Zone charges in cities like Birmingham, Bristol, or London should be factored in. Insurance for the Mondeo generally falls into groups 19-24 depending on trim, making it moderately affordable to insure.

Annual maintenance costs for a high-mileage diesel Mondeo of this age tend to run higher than average, particularly for clutch, brakes, and timing belt service items. Budget around £800-£1,200 annually for routine maintenance plus tyres and brakes, which this vehicle will inevitably need soon. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and maintenance, is approximately £2,800-£3,400 given the higher wear profile suggested by the MOT history.

Begin with a thorough inspection of the suspension components, particularly the rear anti-roll bar ball joints, which failed excessively on both sides in 2024. These are a known Mondeo weak point and replacement bushes and ball joints typically cost £200-£400 fitted. Inspect all four tyres for uneven wear patterns, as the 2024 and 2025 advisories suggest the vehicle may have alignment or suspension geometry issues that have not been addressed. Check the rear brake discs referenced in the 2026 advisory — pitted or scored discs will need machining or replacement if not already done.

Examine the CV boots on the front axle for splits or grease leakage, as the 2026 test noted dampness on the nearside front CV boot. A damaged boot leads to premature joint failure if not caught early. Listen for any clonking or knocking from the front suspension during a test drive, which could indicate worn drop links or strut bearings. Finally, verify the operation of the diesel particulate filter by checking for any warning lights on the dashboard and asking about the typical journey profile — short-trip use kills DPF units and replacement costs typically exceed £1,000.

This red 2.0-litre diesel Ford Mondeo was first registered in July 2019 and has accumulated 168,561 miles over seven years, equating to roughly 24,000 miles annually — significantly above the model average of 7,996 miles per year. The MOT record shows two failures within the past two years (2024 and 2025), alongside a pass with advisory notes in 2026 covering brake disc wear and CV boot dampness. The vehicle's pass rate sits below the Mondeo model average of 78.2%, with issues clustered around brakes, tyres, and anti-roll bar components.

The Ford Mondeo 2.0 TDCi is generally regarded as a dependable diesel family car, with a model-wide MOT pass rate of 78.2% across over 251,610 vehicles analysed. However, the top failure reasons (tyres, anti-roll bar, exhaust) align closely with the issues seen on this individual vehicle, suggesting it falls into the more worn end of the Mondeo spectrum.
