2008 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Petrol · GF08 WFV

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT in April 2026, but this followed a failure caused by both rear tyres having exposed ply or cords and corrosion on both rear lower arms. There is a recurring mechanical pattern regarding the rear suspension. Both rear lower arms were noted for corrosion in April 2025 and the issue persisted into the April 2026 inspection. This indicates a worsening trend in the vehicle's condition, moving from a clean history in 2023 and 2024 to documented suspension and tyre issues in recent years. The recorded mileage of 43,916 is very low for an 18-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 2,440 miles per year. While this suggests minimal wear on the engine and drivetrain, such low usage can imply the vehicle has spent long periods standing. This can lead to specific issues such as the tyre degradation and suspension corrosion seen in the recent MOT history. A buyer should first inspect the condition of the rear lower suspension arms to check the extent of the corrosion. You should also carefully check the age and condition of all tyres and look for any signs of perished rubber or seals that may have resulted from infrequent use.
