2008 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Petrol · GU08 AEK

The vehicle's roadworthiness shows a declining trend in maintenance quality as it approaches its most recent recorded test. While the 2019 through 2018 periods showed relative stability, the records from 2020 and 2021 indicate an increase in neglected consumable items. The September 2021 test at 141,546 miles flagged corroded front brake discs and slightly binding front tyres, suggesting that braking components are not being proactively serviced. Given that the last recorded MOT was in September 2021, this vehicle is significantly overdue for a new test relative to the current date in July 2026, which presents a substantial regulatory and safety risk. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,864 miles per year. The data shows steady progression from 71,916 miles in September 2012 to 141,546 miles in September 2021. There are no evidence of long periods of inactivity or sudden, excessive mileage spikes. This pattern suggests regular, albeit sometimes reactive, usage. However, the lack of any recorded MOT data for the last five years is a major concern, as it leaves the current mechanical condition of the drivetrain and chassis entirely unverified. A prospective buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the braking system and tyre condition. The history shows a recurring pattern of neglect regarding tyres and brake pads, with failures for exposed cords and low pad thickness appearing in 2012, 2013, 2016, and 2020. The 2021 report of corroded discs and binding tyres suggests the calipers or sliding pins may be sticking. You should also inspect the exhaust system, following the insecure silencer failure in August 2018, and check for any significant structural corrosion that may have developed during the five-year gap in testing.
