2007 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · FH07 XDP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean pass in its most recent inspection. The latest MOT conducted on 28 July 2023 at 132,595 miles returned no defects or advisories, indicating that the vehicle was maintained to a functional standard recently. Following a single failure in early 2021, the car has undergone three consecutive tests without recorded faults, suggesting that previous mechanical concerns were addressed and resolved. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. Data shows a steady progression between January 2022 and July 2023, where the car covered 17,323 miles. However, there is a notable gap between the January 2021 and January 2022 tests, where only 10,317 miles were recorded. This intermittent usage pattern may indicate periods of lower activity, which often reduces wear on drivetrain components but can also lead to seized brake calipers or the degradation of rubber components like suspension bushes. Given the clean recent history, a buyer should focus on the physical structural integrity of the chassis and wheel arches, as these are prone to corrosion on Mondeos of this era. While the record does not flag recurring faults, the physical inspection should check for surface rust on the subframe and exhaust mounting points. The buyer should also verify the condition of the tyre lines and fluid levels to ensure that the lower annual mileage has not resulted in perished rubber or fluid contamination between service intervals.
