2008 Ford Mondeo 2.3L Petrol · J900 AAK

This Ford Mondeo presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass rate over the last four years. The most recent test on 13 November 2024 at 134,972 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This mirrors the outcomes of the 2023, 2022, and 2021 tests, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that consistently meets minimum legal requirements. The mileage pattern is generally typical for an 18 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,500 miles per year. There is a significant data anomaly in the November 2022 test, where the recorded mileage jumped to 138,675 miles, only to drop back to 134,091 miles by November 2023. This discrepancy suggests either a clerical error by the tester in 2022 or a potential odometer issue. Aside from this irregularity, the usage appears moderate. The absence of advisories across four consecutive tests is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage. Typically, a 2008 Mondeo would show signs of wear in the suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake discs. The lack of recorded corrosion or structural failures in the MOT history is positive, but it does not guarantee the absence of surface rust or ageing rubber components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the chassis and wheel arches for any hidden corrosion that the tester may have overlooked. Given the age of the car, check the condition of the timing belt and water pump service history, as these are critical failure points not covered by a standard MOT. Verify the odometer reading against the service book to resolve the 2022 mileage discrepancy.
