2015 Ford Mondeo 1.5L Diesel · LS65 CXZ

The vehicle remains technically roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a consistent pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 143,536 miles passed, the tester flagged the offside and nearside rear tyres as being worn to the legal limit. This continues a multi-year trend where the owner consistently ignores tyre condition until they trigger an MOT failure or an immediate advisory. The overall mechanical trend appears stable in terms of passing, but the neglect of basic consumable maintenance is evident. The mileage reflects a high-use profile, averaging approximately 13,000 miles per year over its eleven-year life. There is a significant jump in usage between September 2018 and January 2021, where the vehicle covered over 37,000 miles in just sixteen months. Since 2021, the vehicle has maintained a consistent high-mile accumulation, which puts substantial strain on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems. The high annual mileage increases the likelihood of accelerated wear on components that are not visible during a standard MOT test. A buyer must specifically inspect the suspension geometry and bushing condition, as the recurring reports of uneven tyre wear across multiple axles suggest persistent alignment issues or worn suspension components. The 2022 record noted pitted and scored front brake discs, which given the high mileage, warrants a thorough check of the remaining rotors and calipers. Additionally, the 2023 advisory noted that the engine cover and undertray prevented a full view of the lower engine, which could mask oil leaks or early structural corrosion on the subframe. Given the history of low brake fluid levels and multiple bulb failures, a comprehensive visual inspection of the fluid system is necessary to ensure no internal leaks are present.
