2007 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Petrol · KL07 LPA

The 2025‑08‑05 MOT at 72,458 miles was passed with no defects recorded, confirming that the vehicle currently meets the legal roadworthiness standards. While earlier tests from 2023 and 2024 listed recurring tyre perishing, suspension arm ball‑joint dust‑cover deterioration and a worn exhaust flexi joint, the latest inspection shows no failures, indicating a stable maintenance trend at present. The vehicle has accumulated 72,458 miles over 19 years, averaging just over 3,800 miles per year, which points to relatively light usage. Mileage rose from 67,488 miles in July 2022 to 69,993 miles in August 2023 (2,505 miles), then to 71,351 miles in August 2024 (1,358 miles) and finally to 72,458 miles in August 2025 (1,107 miles), reflecting a steady, incremental increase without sudden spikes. Such low annual mileage can mask wear on components that degrade with time rather than distance. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension arm ball joints and their dust covers for play or corrosion, examine all tyres for edge cracking, perishing or cuts, and verify that the near‑side front tyre condition has been remedied. The previous record of binding rear brakes and worn brake discs means a close check of brake pads, discs and calipers is essential. Given the repeated suspension arm defects, the chassis and suspension mounting points should be examined for rust or structural fatigue, and the worn exhaust flexi joint should be confirmed as sound.
