2011 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · LG11 YTC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in February 2026 with 88,007 miles. The maintenance trend shows a period of improvement following a period of significant neglect in early 2023. While the car failed its test in January 2023 due to multiple mechanical and safety defects, the lack of recorded defects in the subsequent three tests indicates that the primary failures and wear items were addressed by the previous owner. At approximately 15 years old, the mileage of 88,007 miles is notably low, averaging roughly 5,900 miles per year. The usage pattern appears consistent over the last three years, with approximately 3,100 miles covered between January 2024 and February 2025, and another 3,050 miles between February 2025 and February 2026. This low annual mileage suggests the vehicle has seen light use, though it often exposes rubber components to age-related degradation rather than mechanical wear. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the rear sub-frame. The February 2025 test at 84,948 miles flagged corrosion that was not yet severe enough to fail, but structural rust on a subframe is progressive and requires constant monitoring. Additionally, the history shows a recurring pattern of suspension wear, specifically worn front and rear arm bushes and corroded coil springs noted in 2023 and 2024. You should check for any signs of perished rubber or play in the suspension geometry despite the recent clean pass. The braking system and fluid levels also require verification. The January 2023 failure highlighted thin rear pads, scored discs, and low brake fluid. While these appear to have been rectified, the low mileage can sometimes lead to fluid moisture or caliper corrosion if the vehicle sits stationary. Given the previous issues with uneven tyre wear and perished edges in 2023, ensure the current tyre set shows even wear and that the suspension is not misaligned.
