2011 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · LO11 VFV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a clean record through its most recent inspections. The latest MOT conducted on 27 August 2024 at 113,362 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following an initial failure on the same day. This suggests the previous owner was proactive in rectifying issues immediately to ensure compliance. Since that last test, the vehicle has operated for nearly two years without a recorded inspection event. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a fifteen-year-old car, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per annum. The record shows 100,375 miles in August 2022 and 104,998 miles in August 2023, representing a steady accumulation of roughly 5,000 miles that year. The subsequent jump of 8,364 miles to the 2024 test indicates a consistent usage habit which often reduces the risk of dry rot or seized mechanical components compared to long-term stationary vehicles. While the history is currently clean, a buyer should focus on common components prone to wear on this model at this age. The failures recorded in 2022 and 2024 lacked specific defect descriptions in this summary, but they often involve minor items like bulbs, wipers, or tyre tread. A physical inspection should prioritise checking the structural integrity of the subframes for corrosion, the condition of the suspension bushes, and the state of the brake discs for any signs of excessive thinning or binding calipers. At 113,000 miles, checking for oil leaks and verifying the coolant condition is also essential to ensure the mechanical health matches the clean MOT history.
