2006 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Petrol · LT06 ABZ

The 2006 Ford Mondeo shows a stable roadworthiness status, with the most recent DVSA test on 1 July 2025 at 166,591 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Five consecutive annual examinations from 22 June 2021 to July 2025 each cleared the car without advisories. This unbroken sequence points to a maintenance trend that is steady rather than worsening or improving, as no recurring mechanical or structural issues entered the record. The mileage advanced from 151,949 at the 22 June 2021 test to 166,591 by 1 July 2025, a gain of 14,642 miles across four years, or about 3,660 miles per year. That recent rate falls below the roughly 8,330 miles per annum implied by the car's 20-year life and total odometer. The history contains no gaps; every test landed within a few days of the prior year's date. Clean sheets with zero advisories suggest the previous keeper kept the vehicle to a basic statutory standard, though the records alone do not reveal whether consumables were proactively replaced. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of typical aged Mondeo components that the MOT did not flag. The tester recorded no corrosion on structural members, yet sills, subframes and suspension mounting points demand visual checks for rust given two decades of service. Front suspension bushes, rear coil springs and damper mounts often degrade silently on cars of this mileage, while brake discs and calipers should be measured for wear despite the absence of binding or thin-disc advisories in the 2025 examination. The lack of recorded faults does not exempt the car from normal wear on exhaust emissions components or tyres, so a pre-purchase check remains prudent.
