2005 Ford Mondeo 1.8L Petrol · FP05 PYX

The most recent MOT on 29 November 2025 at 128,750 miles resulted in a failure with no defects recorded, leaving the car's current roadworthiness unconfirmed and the maintenance trend ambiguous rather than clearly stable or worsening. Prior to that, the vehicle passed cleanly on 27 November 2024 at 122,764 miles after a failed attempt two days earlier at 122,763 miles, and similarly failed then passed in November 2023 at 121,635 and 121,640 miles respectively. These repeated fail-pass pairs with no listed defects suggest administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than resolved mechanical faults. Annual mileage sits at roughly 6,131 miles based on the 128,750 recorded at the 2025 test against the car's 2005 build, which is typical for a 21-year-old vehicle. The record shows only modest accumulation: just 1,110 miles between November 2024 and November 2025, and under 1,200 miles across the prior year. Such low yearly use implies light running, though the sparse five-entry history with no advisories or defects offers little insight into consumable wear or underlying condition. A buyer should physically verify structural integrity and corrosion on sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points, since the MOT data records nothing on these areas across the car's life. The tester should confirm brake disc thickness, caliper operation, and suspension bushes for age-related degradation not captured in the clean certificates. Given the two unexplained failures in 2023 and 2024 followed by a 2025 failure with no defects, the buyer must obtain the failure reason from DVSA to rule out recurring emissions or lighting faults before purchase.
