2015 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · FM15 LFP

The 2015 Ford Mondeo currently holds a valid MOT certificate, with the most recent test passing on 29 October 2025 at 204,148 miles with zero defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle has consistently passed its inspections over the last three years. A failed test recorded on the same day and mileage as the 2025 pass likely indicates a same-day retest following a minor initial issue, though the record lists no specific defects for either entry. The absence of advisories or failures in the recent history suggests the car meets current roadworthiness standards. At roughly 11 years old with 204,148 miles on the clock, this Mondeo has averaged approximately 18,559 miles per year, which is notably high for its age. The mileage accumulation remains consistent rather than sporadic. Between the July 2023 test at 176,495 miles and the October 2024 test at 188,732 miles, the car covered 12,237 miles. This increased to 15,416 miles over the following twelve months leading to the October 2025 test. Such sustained high mileage implies prolonged periods of heavy use, accelerating wear on consumables and mechanical components. Despite the clean MOT record, the high mileage necessitates a rigorous physical inspection. A buyer must closely examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration, as high-mileage Mondeos frequently suffer from premature wear in these areas. Brake discs and pads require careful measurement for thickness and lipping, given the 204,000 miles of use. The exhaust system and catalytic converter should be inspected for corrosion and leaks, while the underbody must be checked for structural rust that might not yet constitute an MOT failure but poses a future risk. Tyre condition and manufacturing date codes deserve attention, as high annual mileage accelerates tread wear and can lead to aged, unsafe rubber. The drivetrain, including the clutch and gearbox, should be tested for excessive play or judder during a test drive. While the MOT history is clean, the sheer distance covered means that proactive replacement of wear items is likely imminent.
