2016 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · LR66 FMF

A consistent record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with a complete absence of defects or advisories across multiple years of testing. This stable trend is confirmed by the most recent pass on 10 June 2025, indicating that the car has been maintained to a standard that meets DVSA requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The recorded mileage of 139,267 miles is high for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 13,927 miles per year. This usage pattern typically indicates a life spent primarily on long-distance journeys, which reduces the frequency of cold-start cycles but accelerates the wear on drivetrain components, engine bearings, and suspension bushings compared to a low-mileage example. Because the MOT history is devoid of specific advisories regarding suspension or braking systems, the test drive should focus on detecting the onset of wear that has not yet reached a failure threshold. Listen for any knocks or clunks from the front suspension arms and feel for any vibration or pull in the steering, which would indicate that the high mileage is beginning to impact the chassis components. Attention should also be paid to the drivetrain and structural areas that are not always highlighted in a clean MOT pass. Check for smooth gear engagement and a lack of clutch slip, and perform a visual check of the subframe and wheel arches for any signs of surface corrosion that may not have been deemed structural failures during the June 2025 inspection.
