2008 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · LS08 KPY

The 2008 Ford Mondeo presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 30 June 2025 at 189,161 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the two prior annual tests in July 2024 and March 2023 also passed cleanly. The upkeep pattern shows no recurring advisories or mechanical faults across the available record, indicating consistent basic compliance rather than deferred repair. Mileage sits at 189,161 against an 18-year lifespan, averaging roughly 10,500 miles per year which is typical for the age. The record shows steady accumulation: 181,341 miles in April 2022, 184,397 by March 2023, 186,242 in July 2024, and 189,161 in June 2025. A single anomaly appears in March 2023 when the car failed on 24 March at 184,293 miles yet passed five days later at 184,397 with no defects logged, suggesting an administrative or retest discrepancy rather than a genuine fault. The clean MOT history gives no tester-flagged warnings on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody for hidden rust, given the vehicle's age and high mileage. Verify the condition of consumable items such as tyres and wiper blades, which fall outside MOT defect capture between tests. The absence of advisories across four passes implies previous owners kept the Mondeo to minimum legal standard without visible neglect. At 189,161 miles the drivetrain and suspension components carry inherent wear risk not exposed by a pass certificate, so a pre-purchase mechanical assessment remains prudent before purchase.
