2018 Ford Mondeo 1.5L Petrol · FD18 SFZ

The 2026‑05‑12 MOT at 54,616 miles passed with no defects, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy and that the maintenance record shows a stable, defect‑free trend. From the July 2021 test at 38,891 miles to the May 2022 test at 40,688 miles the mileage rose by 1,797 miles over ten months, and each subsequent annual test showed a similar incremental rise until the 2025‑06‑06 test at 44,512 miles; the most recent 2026‑05‑12 test recorded 54,616 miles, a 10,104‑mile increase in just eleven months, suggesting a period of heavy usage that could have heightened wear on suspension, brakes and drivetrain components. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking or excessive play, test the rear brake calipers for binding and inspect the brake discs for scoring or uneven wear, and look for structural rust around the wheel arches, sills and chassis rails, as these components are prone to deterioration after high‑intensity use. While the MOT history shows no recorded failures, a physical inspection of the exhaust system for corrosion, verification of tyre tread depth, and a check of the drivetrain mounts will ensure that the apparent stability of the record translates into genuine mechanical soundness.
