2008 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · MJ08 AEC

The vehicle appears mechanically stable based on the available MOT data, though the record is significantly outdated. The last recorded test on 20 October 2022 at 104,362 miles resulted in a pass with no defects. This follows a consistent pattern of passing tests without any recorded advisories or mechanical failures since October 2020. The mileage is notably low for an 18 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,798 miles per year. The distance covered between the October 2020 test at 98,969 miles and the final October 2022 test at 104,362 miles was only 5,393 miles over two years. This suggests the car has spent significant time stationary or has been used for very light duties. A critical concern is the gap in testing. The vehicle has not had a recorded MOT since October 2022, meaning it has been off the road or untested for nearly four years relative to the current date of July 2026. Long periods of inactivity often lead to seized brake calipers, perished tyre sidewalls, and degraded battery health. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the chassis and suspension components for corrosion, as low-mileage older Fords are prone to structural rust if left standing. Check for flat spots on the tyres and ensure the braking system is not binding. Given the lack of recent data, a full mechanical service is necessary to verify the current condition of the engine oil and coolant.
