2014 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · MK14 XEZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of recurring suspension and brake wear. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 61,707 miles showed only an advisory for front tyres wearing on the inner edges, previous records indicate a history of neglected mechanical attention. The trend appears to be stabilizing after the numerous defects recorded in late 2023, but the persistent issues with rubber components suggest a reactive rather than proactive approach to maintenance. At 61,707 miles, this 2014 Ford has significantly low mileage, averaging approximately 5,100 miles per year. The mileage progression is consistent, with 10,000 miles driven between December 2023 and November 2024, and another 9,000 miles between November 2024 and October 2025. However, low mileage often correlates with accelerated degradation of rubber components through age, which is evidenced by the reports of perished tyres and worn bushes found in the earlier inspections. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the suspension geometry, as the record repeatedly flags worn wishbone bushes, trailing arm bushes, and axle swivel pins. The inner-edge wear on the front tyres in 2025 suggests an alignment issue or worn suspension components that have not been fully rectified. Furthermore, the 2022 report of corrosion on rear coil springs and the 2023 report of pitted brake discs indicate that the vehicle may have sat for long periods, leading to surface rust and material degradation despite the low mileage.
