2007 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · K8 NNM

This 2007 Ford Mondeo passed its most recent MOT in September 2025, but the history reveals a concerning trend of structural deterioration. The primary risk is systemic corrosion. For several years, the MOT records show corrosion across the sub-frame, anti-roll bars, coil springs, and rear lower suspension arms. While these were initially listed as "not seriously weakened" in 2023 and 2024, the condition worsened by September 2025, when the offside rear lower suspension arm was deemed "seriously weakened" and required replacement to pass. The vehicle's condition is worsening. The progression from general corrosion to structural failure indicates that rust is actively compromising the chassis and suspension components. The mileage of 170,618 miles is typical for a 19-year-old car. This suggests consistent use rather than long periods of standing, but it also means high wear on all drivetrain and suspension consumables. The presence of a persistent oil leak and low coolant levels in recent tests suggests a lack of preventative maintenance. A buyer must first conduct a thorough inspection of the underside.
