2015 Ford Mondeo 1.5L Diesel · GV65 CXG

The 2015 Ford Mondeo’s most recent MOT test on 2025-06-06 at 95,581 miles passed without defects, confirming it remains roadworthy for the time being. However, the immediate preceding test on 2025-05-28 at 95,472 miles—just eight days earlier—failed for an unspecified reason, though no defects were recorded. This abrupt reversal suggests either a last-minute repair or a minor oversight in the test process, as no faults were formally noted. The preceding MOT history from 2022 to 2024 shows consistent passes with no advisories, indicating a stable maintenance pattern over the past four years. The lack of recurring faults implies the vehicle has not suffered from systemic issues like suspension degradation, major corrosion, or drivetrain failures. The recorded mileage of 95,581 miles over 11 years averages approximately 8,689 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps in service intervals, though the 2024-2025 period shows unusually rapid accumulation—over 13,000 miles between tests—suggesting either heavy usage or a period of neglect before the final pass. The absence of advisories in prior tests also means no critical components like coil springs, suspension bushes, or brake calipers were flagged for imminent failure, though wear on these parts would still be expected at this mileage. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of high-wear items such as the brake discs and pads, which may now require replacement after the rapid mileage increase. The suspension components, particularly rear bushes and coil springs, should be checked for excessive play or corrosion, as these are common failure points at this mileage. Additionally, the exhaust system and underbody should be examined for signs of rust or leaks, especially around the sills and wheel arches, where corrosion can compromise structural integrity. The most recent failure, despite no recorded defects, warrants scrutiny of the braking system and steering linkages, as these are frequently the cause of unexpected MOT rejections.
