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.
