2015 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · LR15 VPT

The 2015 Ford Mondeo presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed the most recent test on 2 December 2025 at 166,553 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. The vehicle cleared its 31 May 2023 examination at 140,498 miles, then passed again on 9 July 2024 at 158,621 miles, showing consistent clean results between tests. Recorded mileage stands at 166,553 against an eleven-year lifespan, equating to roughly 15,141 miles per year and placing this estate in the high-use bracket for its age. The jump from 140,498 miles in May 2023 to 158,621 miles by July 2024 reflects about 18,000 miles in fourteen months, a slightly elevated but plausible private or light-fleet pattern. A notable gap follows, with the next recorded activity not until December 2025 at identical 166,553 miles, suggesting the car covered negligible distance across those seventeen months or sat largely idle before the late-2025 tests. The December 2025 record shows a fail on 1 December at 166,553 miles with no defects listed, immediately followed by a pass on 2 December at the same mileage. This sequential fail-then-pass with zero recorded faults points to an administrative or documentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical defect, though a buyer should confirm the failure reason via the DVLA failure sheet. No suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emission concerns appear anywhere in the chain. Given the sparse and clean MOT trail, a viewing should still verify structural integrity underneath, check for latent corrosion around sills and subframes, and confirm brake caliper freedom after the long static period implied by the 2024 to 2025 mileage stall. The high overall mileage warrants a close look at drivetrain wear and tyre sidewall condition despite the absence of recorded advisories.
