2015 Ford Mondeo 1.6L Diesel · FD64 FYF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean MOT pass in February 2026 at 149,775 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, despite a recent mechanical setback early in the year. The car failed in January 2026 at 149,731 miles due to exhaust emissions exceeding manufacturer limits, but the fact that the vehicle passed again just five weeks later suggests the owner addressed the issue promptly, likely through a sensor replacement or fuel system service. The mileage profile reflects consistent high-usage, averaging approximately 13,600 miles per year over the vehicle's eleven years. Between January 2023 and February 2026, the car covered 16,342 miles, indicating a steady operational pattern rather than long periods of standing. This regular use often keeps components lubricated and active, but it also places significant stress on wear-related items. The lack of advisories in the previous three annual tests suggests that the vehicle has been well-maintained despite the high cumulative mileage. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the exhaust system to ensure the recent emissions failure was not a symptom of a deeper failing catalytic converter or oxygen sensor issue. Given the high mileage nearing 150,000 miles, the suspension bushes, control arms, and shock absorbers should be checked for signs of rubber degradation or weeping. Additionally, inspect the brake discs for thinning or binding calipers, as these are the primary points of failure on high-mileage vehicles of this age.
