2011 Ford Mondeo Zetec Tdci 140 2.0L Diesel · FT11 OKU

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, showing a stable maintenance trend following a minor setback. The most recent test in October 2025 at 217,043 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the immediate mechanical and safety components met the minimum standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2022 and 2024, suggesting that the current owner has addressed necessary repairs to keep the vehicle operational on the road. The mileage profile reflects consistent high-intensity usage, averaging approximately 14,500 miles per annum over the fifteen-year life span. Between September 2022 and October 2025, the car covered 40,856 miles, which represents a high rate of accumulation typical of long-distance motorway use. This rapid mileage places significant stress on the drivetrain, turbocharger, and suspension components. The brief failure in October 2023 at 193,347 miles was rectified quickly, as the vehicle passed a retest just 12 miles later that month. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension geometry and braking system, as the high mileage often accelerates the wear of bushes, control arms, and coil springs. While the MOT record shows no recurring structural failures, the age of the chassis necessitates a close look at sills and rear mounting points for hidden corrosion. Given the 217,000-mile mark, verifying the oil leaks and the condition of the clutch is essential to ensure the vehicle is not nearing a mechanical failure point.
