2017 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · FP17 ECD

The 2017 Ford Mondeo presents a highly stable maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 23 February 2026 at 198,536 miles with zero defects recorded. This unblemished MOT history spanning five consecutive tests indicates a vehicle that has consistently met structural and mechanical standards. The absence of advisories or failures across the recorded timeline suggests diligent upkeep, with no recurring mechanical issues or emerging deterioration to flag. Accumulating 198,536 miles over nine years equates to an annual average of roughly 22,060 miles, placing this Mondeo in the high-mileage bracket for its age. The mileage progression remains consistent, with the car covering 14,715 miles between the November 2021 test at 149,097 miles and the December 2022 test at 163,812 miles. Subsequent yearly intervals show similar trajectories, adding 11,673 miles by December 2023 and 12,205 miles by December 2024. The most recent fourteen-and-a-half-month gap saw a slightly reduced accumulation of 10,846 miles, reflecting sustained heavy use rather than prolonged standing. Despite the pristine MOT record, the high mileage demands a thorough physical inspection focused on wear-prone components. A buyer should closely examine the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as high mileage accelerates the deterioration of these rubber and metal parts, even if they currently pass a visual MOT check. Brake discs and pads require scrutiny for wear, while the exhaust system and catalytic converter should be checked for corrosion and emissions performance. Tyre tread depth and sidewall condition warrant immediate attention, as high annual mileage rapidly degrades consumables between test dates. Inspecting the underbody and structural mounting points for rust remains prudent, ensuring the long-distance wear has not compromised the vehicle's structural integrity.
