2018 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · G7 CTE

The vehicle remains roadworthy as of the most recent MOT on 5 March 2026, passing at 108,474 miles, but the tester flagged thin rear brake pads and a stone‑chipped windscreen. The maintenance record shows a generally stable pattern with no recurring major faults, although the emergence of brake‑pad wear indicates a slight decline in the braking component condition. Mileage has accumulated to 108,474 miles over eight years, averaging roughly 13,500 miles per annum, which is above the typical usage for a 2018 model. The jump from 89,219 miles in March 2025 to 108,474 miles in March 2026 represents an increase of 19,255 miles in a single year, suggesting a period of intensive use. Earlier intervals show modest growth, for example from 34,270 miles in September 2022 to 36,148 miles in March 2023, indicating that the recent surge is the most significant mileage spike. A prospective buyer should inspect the rear brake assembly closely, confirming pad thickness and checking the condition of the brake discs for scoring or glazing. The windscreen chip should be examined for propagation and to ensure it does not compromise structural integrity. Given the high mileage, tyre tread depth, sidewall condition, and uniform wear merit verification, as do suspension bushes, coil springs, and any signs of corrosion on chassis or exhaust components. A thorough road test for unusual noises or handling variations will help confirm that wear on these critical systems remains within acceptable limits.
