2015 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · MK14 SON

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a concerning trend of reactive repairs rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 122,031 miles resulted in a pass, it highlighted a minor electrical fault and persistent corrosion on the rear anti-roll bar. The transition from a significant failure in October 2023 to subsequent passes suggests that the owner is now addressing defects only once they reach the point of legal noncompliance. The recorded mileage of 122,031 miles over 11 years reflects a consistent usage pattern of approximately 11,000 miles per annum. The data shows regular intervals between tests, with roughly 7,000 miles covered between November 2024 and October 2025, and another 6,500 miles in the year leading up to the previous test. This steady accumulation indicates the vehicle has been used regularly, which explains the consistent wear observed on consumable components like tyres and brakes across the record. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the braking system, as the record indicates recurring issues with fluctuating discs, thin pads, and pitted surfaces between 2023 and 2024. The offside front inner brake disc was noted as worn and scored in late 2024, suggesting potential caliper sticking issues. Furthermore, the corrosion on the rear anti-roll bar has appeared in two consecutive tests from 2024 and 2025, indicating an ongoing rust process that will eventually require replacement to maintain structural integrity. Structural integrity requires specific attention following the October 2025 entry which flagged a deformed integral body structure. Although the tester noted rigidity was not significantly reduced, such a finding often indicates a past impact that should be checked for signs of alignment issues. Given the frequent advisories regarding tyres being worn to the legal limit or unevenly, the buyer should also verify the current tread depth and alignment to ensure the suspension geometry is not causing premature wear.
