2016 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Petrol · M5 RLA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a generally clean maintenance record. The most recent test on July 3, 2025 at 34,087 miles resulted in a pass following a minor failure just one mile prior for a faulty side repeater. This failure was a superficial electrical issue that was addressed immediately, suggesting the owner is responsive to MOT requirements. No recurring mechanical or structural defects have appeared across the last four tests. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,400 miles per year. Between July 2022 at 22,804 miles and June 2024 at 27,777 miles, the car covered only 4,973 miles, indicating periods of infrequent use. While this low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, long periods of standing can lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts and fluid breakdown, which is evidenced by the June 2024 advisories. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the rubber components and the braking system. The June 2024 test at 27,777 miles flagged the offside rear tyre for cracking and perishing, which is a common symptom of low-mileage vehicles that sit for long durations. Inspect all tyres for sidewall cracking and flat spots regardless of tread depth. Additionally, because the car has been driven infrequently, check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting and ensure the brake calipers are not seized or binding, as these components often suffer from lack of regular use.
