2007 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · KD07 ARZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the history indicates a pattern of immediate rectification. The most recent MOT test on 20 April 2022 at 98,393 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, following a failure exactly one day prior at the same mileage. This suggests that the owner is proactive in addressing MOT failures immediately to maintain legal compliance, and the lack of advisories in the final test indicates the mechanical condition was meeting requirements at that time. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,179 miles per year. Between March 2020 at 89,145 miles and April 2022 at 98,393 miles, the car covered only 9,248 miles over two years. This low-frequency usage often reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain components, but the long intervals between tests and usage can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components such as suspension bushes and seals, as well as surface corrosion on brake discs due to lack of regular use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and floor pans, as low-mileage cars of this era are prone to hidden rust if they sit stationary. Given the four-year gap since the last recorded MOT in 2022, it is vital to check for perished brake hoses and degraded fluids that age with time regardless of mileage. Inspect the suspension geometry for signs of cracking or perished boots to ensure that the low mileage has not masked age-related fatigue of critical rubber components.
