2017 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · FH66 OTD

The 2017 Ford Mondeo presents a stable roadworthiness trend with a clean pass at the most recent test on 2025-10-10 at 396,736 miles. Every recorded MOT from 2022 through 2025 returned a pass with no defects or advisories logged by the tester. The maintenance history shows no worsening faults, recurring mechanical issues, or structural concerns across the available record. The odometer climbed from 259,320 miles at the 2022-10-20 test to 396,736 miles by 2025-10-10, an accumulation of roughly 137,416 miles in three years. Annual mileage sits near 44,000, well above typical private use for a nine-year-old car. The half-year gap between the 2023-04-18 pass at 285,366 miles and the 2023-10-12 pass at 319,882 miles reflects steady high-intensity use rather than prolonged standing. The DVSA data is sparse on faults, showing only pass outcomes with no advisories on consumables such as tyres, brake discs, or suspension bushes. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the suspension components, brake calipers, and underbody corrosion given the exceptional mileage. High annual distances accelerate wear on coil springs, track rod ends, and exhaust emissions systems even when testers log no current defects. The absence of recorded advisories suggests previous owners addressed issues before each test or the car saw fleet-level servicing, but 396,736 miles places heavy strain on the drivetrain and structural integrity. Verify the service history matches the mileage entries and inspect for welding repairs or fatigue in load-bearing panels. The clean MOT trail offers reassurance on legal compliance, yet the accumulated distance demands scrutiny of mechanical tolerances not captured in a roadside test.
