Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to high mileage
Given the high mileage of 193,029 miles, your priority should be verifying the service history for major component replacements, such as the timing belt/cam belt and water pump. At this stage of a diesel engine's life, these are critical maintenance items.
Negotiate based on the recent MOT advisories. The 2025 record notes a worn offside rear trailing arm bush, which is a common wear item on older Mondeos. You should also check the condition of the registration plates, as the 2025 and 2022 tests both noted deterioration of the front plate.
As a 1.6L diesel, this Mondeo is designed for efficient long-distance cruising, though running costs will be influenced by its age and high mileage. You should expect moderate fuel economy, though maintenance costs may rise as components like suspension bushes and braking systems require more frequent attention.
Tax and insurance groups for this model vary depending on the specific trim level, but you should confirm the exact band before buying. Expect higher-than-average maintenance costs due to the vehicle's age and the wear patterns seen in its MOT history.
Focus your inspection on the suspension and braking systems. The MOT history specifically identifies a worn offside rear trailing arm bush in 2025 and thin rear brake pads in 2023. Test drive the vehicle to listen for any knocks or rattles from the suspension, particularly when driving over uneven surfaces.
Additionally, check the condition of all tyres, as the 2023 MOT recorded a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit. Finally, inspect the registration plates for legibility and the headlamp alignment, following the failure noted in 2023, to ensure all lighting is correctly adjusted.
This grey 1.6L diesel Ford Mondeo has covered 193,029 miles as of its most recent MOT in September 2025. The vehicle's mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 7,971 miles per year. While it has passed its recent tests, the MOT history shows recurring issues with consumables like tyres, brake pads, and suspension components.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 78.1%, with common failures relating to tyres, brake pads, and windscreen wipers.
