2018 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Hybrid electric · GL68 PZE

Based on the DVSA MOT records, this 2018 Ford Mondeo currently holds a valid, clean pass certificate dated 17 October 2025 at 92,719 miles. The maintenance trend is broadly stable, though a pattern of recurring minor advisories suggests routine consumable wear is being monitored rather than proactively replaced. The most recent test flagged a deteriorated central rear registration plate and a worn front brake disc, neither of which constitutes a serious structural or mechanical risk. A nearside rear child seat left fitted during the test prevented a full inspection of the adult seatbelt, which a buyer must verify in person. The vehicle has never failed a test on structural integrity, suspension, or braking performance, indicating the core chassis and safety systems remain sound. The mileage accumulation is consistent and unremarkable for an eight-year-old vehicle. Between the October 2022 test at 59,965 miles and the October 2024 test at 81,452 miles, the car covered approximately 21,487 miles in two years, equating to roughly 10,744 miles annually. The final jump to 92,719 miles by October 2025 adds another 11,267 miles in twelve months, confirming steady, typical use. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in the odometer record that would suggest long periods of standing or mileage irregularities. The annual distance covered sits comfortably within the expected range for a vehicle of this age and type. The MOT history does reveal a recurring theme with brake disc condition. In October 2024 at 81,452 miles, both front brake discs were flagged as worn, pitted, or scored but not seriously weakened. By October 2025 at 92,719 miles, the nearside front disc had been addressed, yet a front brake disc advisory reappeared, suggesting either the offside was not replaced as a pair or a new disc is already showing early wear. A prospective buyer should inspect both front brake discs, pads, and calipers for uneven wear or binding. The October 2023 failure for an excessively worn nearside front suspension ball joint at 72,107 miles was rectified promptly, as the retest on the same day passed cleanly. That said, a physical inspection of all suspension bushes, ball joints, and coil springs remains prudent given the vehicle's age and mileage. The nearside rear seatbelt must also be fully checked, as the child seat obstruction in the most recent test leaves that restraint unverified.
