2016 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · FH16 YRJ

The Ford Mondeo presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 23 December 2025 at 62,505 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent test showed no defects, though it followed a failed attempt eleven days earlier at 62,402 miles where the tester logged no defects, a pattern repeated on 13 December 2024 when a fail with no recorded defects preceded a same-day pass at 57,918 miles. Such administrative fails without listed faults suggest documentation or process issues at the testing station rather than mechanical deterioration. Annual mileage sits at a modest average of roughly 6,250 miles per year against the vehicle's ten-year age, with the record showing 51,763 miles in December 2023, 57,918 miles in December 2024, and 62,505 miles by December 2025. The low yearly accumulation indicates light use, though the two consecutive years with paired fail-and-pass entries on the same dates point to either owner oversight in rebooking or test centre error rather than neglected consumables. No advisories for tyres, brake discs, suspension bushes, or corrosion appear at any stage, which is unusual for a vehicle of this age and warrants verification. A buyer should physically inspect the vehicle to confirm the absence of structural rust, worn coil springs, and binding calipers, since the MOT data records no advisories that would normally surface by year ten. The repeated no-defect fails without listed reasons mean the DVSA record alone cannot evidence genuine mechanical condition, so a independent check of exhaust emissions, brake operation, and underbody integrity remains sensible before purchase.
