2015 Ford Mondeo 1.6L Diesel · MA15 CFM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift from reactive repairs to basic monitoring. The most recent test in December 2025 at 143,173 miles recorded a pass despite a noted oil leak that was deemed not excessive by the tester. This represents an improvement over the early 2023 period where the vehicle failed on multiple safety-critical items. Since that failure, the car has passed two consecutive tests without recorded defects, suggesting the previous owner has addressed the primary mechanical concerns. At 143,173 miles over eleven years, this Ford Mondeo has averaged approximately 13,000 miles per year, indicating consistent high-mileage usage. The data shows a steady accumulation of miles, with roughly 10,700 miles covered between January 2024 and December 2024, and another 10,800 miles in the year leading up to the December 2025 test. This consistent use places significant strain on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking system. The regularity of the mileage growth suggests the vehicle was used for regular commuting rather than sitting for long periods. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the oil leak identified in the December 2025 test to determine if it is a minor gasket seep or a developing seal. The 2023 failure highlighted a history of neglect regarding basic consumables, specifically thin brake pads, worn discs, and tyres reaching the legal limit. While these have likely been replaced, the high mileage necessitates a thorough check of the suspension bushes, shock absorbers, and coil springs, which often degrade on Mondeos of this age. Additionally, verify the chassis for corrosion around the rear sills, as no structural advisories were noted in the recent records despite the vehicle's age.
