2018 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · FD18 VWK

The 2018 Ford Mondeo presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, with the most recent MOT on 26 March 2026 at 78,109 miles passing cleanly with zero defects or advisories. This marks three consecutive flawless passes, indicating the vehicle has been kept in sound mechanical order through its later years. The only blemish on record is a minor tyre wear issue from April 2024, which was promptly resolved before the retest four days later. The mileage accumulation is consistent and unremarkable for an eight-year-old car. Annual use sits at roughly 9,764 miles, derived from a steady climb between tests: 59,998 miles in June 2023, 65,305 miles by April 2024, 71,821 miles in March 2025, and 78,109 miles in March 2026. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps in the odometer record that would suggest long periods of disuse or clocking concerns. The vehicle has been driven regularly and maintained on an annual cycle without interruption. The sole defect on file is a pair of worn front tyres identified on 2 April 2024 at 65,301 miles, both below the 1.6mm legal minimum. This was a straightforward consumable failure, not a mechanical or structural concern, and the subsequent pass on 6 April 2024 confirms immediate replacement. No suspension, braking, exhaust, or structural corrosion issues have ever been flagged across the entire history, which is encouraging for a Mondeo of this age. Despite the clean paper record, a buyer should still inspect the underside for surface corrosion on subframes and suspension mounting points, check the condition of rear brake discs and pads given the mileage, and verify the operation of all electronic systems including parking brake function and dashboard warning lamp sequences. The MOT history confirms diligent upkeep, but a physical inspection remains essential to confirm the car matches its documentation.
