2016 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · LP65 JWC

The most recent MOT on 2026-02-26 resulted in a fail , with multiple critical issues recorded. These included a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) malfunction , tyres worn close to legal limits , and one tyre with visible cord damage . Additional failures included a deteriorated rear registration plate and a reduced light intensity in the offside front position lamp . These defects indicate significant safety and compliance risks, particularly with tyres and the TPMS, which are essential for vehicle control and roadworthiness. A separate MOT on the same date showed a pass , but this only addressed minor issues like the registration plate and lamp, not the more severe tyre and TPMS problems. This suggests the vehicle may have been tested twice in a short period, possibly due to unresolved faults. The recurring tyre wear (multiple tyres near legal limits, one with cord exposure) and TPMS failure point to potential neglect in maintenance or excessive use. These issues are not isolated but form a pattern of component degradation , particularly in tyres and electronic systems. The vehicle’s mileage of 165,631 miles over 10 years equates to ~16,563 miles annually , which is higher than average for its age. This could indicate heavy usage , increasing wear on tyres, brakes, and suspension.
