2011 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · LR61 AEV

The 2011 Ford Mondeo shows a passed roadworthiness status as of the 8 April 2022 test at 299,027 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the available record. The most recent pass followed a failure on 6 April 2022 at 299,025 miles where the tester logged no defects, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Prior to that, the vehicle passed cleanly at 289,405 miles on 17 March 2021, 268,062 miles on 28 February 2020, and 234,999 miles on 26 February 2019. The odometer reading of 299,027 miles against a 15-year lifespan equates to roughly 19,935 miles per year, a high annual figure that points to sustained motorway or business use. Mileage climbed from 234,999 in February 2019 to 268,062 in February 2020, then to 289,405 in March 2021, before reaching 299,027 by April 2022. The two-mile gap between the April 2022 fail and pass indicates the car was barely driven in that window. The DVSA data is sparse, with no advisories or defects recorded on any pass, so the clean sheet offers little insight into wear patterns. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the high cumulative mileage and age. The absence of recorded corrosion or structural integrity concerns is reassuring, but testers often omit advisories on older high-mileage vehicles. Drivetrain components and exhaust emissions should be assessed for fatigue from prolonged use. The repeated clean tests imply previous owners kept the Mondeo to a basic legal standard rather than documenting wear. Without flagged binding calipers or tyre defects, the record shows no worsening mechanical trend, yet the 299,027-mile figure demands scrutiny of consumable and structural items before purchase.
