2006 Ford Mondeo 1.8L Petrol · GV56 BYA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test on 11 November 2025 at 144,354 miles. Despite a failure recorded the previous day at the same mileage, the subsequent pass with no defects suggests a minor, easily rectified issue was addressed immediately by the owner. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently secured passes over the last two years without any recurring mechanical failures or structural defects being flagged in the official record. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a twenty-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per year. Between November 2023 and November 2024, the car covered 3,962 miles, while it clocked another 4,016 miles in the following year up to November 2025. This low annual usage suggests light yearly use, which typically reduces wear on the drivetrain components and suspension bushings, though the age of the vehicle still presents a risk of degradation in rubber-based parts and seals. Given the clean nature of the recent records, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and mounting points, where corrosion often develops on Mondeos of this era. While the MOT history shows no advisories, the low mileage can sometimes mask seized brake calipers or perished rubber hoses that do not fail during a standard test. The buyer should also inspect the condition of the tyres and suspension arm cracks, as the record does not detail the state of these consumable items beyond their basic legal requirements.
