2008 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Petrol · FP08 OSE

The 2008 Ford Mondeo shows a current roadworthy status following the pass recorded on 2 March 2022 at 148,924 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable on paper as no defects were listed at that test. The single failure logged one day earlier at 148,922 miles carries no recorded defects, which points to an administrative or presentation issue at the test centre rather than a mechanical fault. The recorded mileage of 148,924 at the March 2022 test equates to roughly 8,274 miles per year across the vehicle's eighteen years, a figure in line with typical private use for this model. The history is sparse, with only the March 2022 pass and the prior-day failure entered, so no rapid accumulation or standing gaps can be judged from the data supplied. No earlier tests are present to chart wear on consumables or drivetrain over time. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion on sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points, as an eighteen-year-old Mondeo at this mileage commonly shows age-related rust unseen in a clean MOT sheet. The tester logged no advisories on brake discs, calipers, or suspension bushes, yet these components warrant physical checks for binding calipers or worn bushes given the vehicle's age. The absence of recorded defects across both March 2022 entries suggests previous owners presented the car without outstanding minor wear, though the unexplained failure one day before the pass hints at loose test control rather than neglect. Given the thin record, treat the verdict as provisional until a current road test confirms exhaust emissions, steering, and chassis condition.
