2007 Ford Mondeo 2.2L Diesel · ML07 WRP

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following a clean pass on 23 August 2025. The maintenance trend appears to be improving after a period of instability in early 2024. While the most recent two tests show no recorded defects, the vehicle underwent two failures within a three-month window between February and May 2024. This pattern suggests a period of mechanical instability that has since been resolved according to the recorded outcomes. The vehicle has covered 320,295 miles over its 19-year lifespan, averaging approximately 16,858 miles per year. This represents high-intensity usage for a vehicle of this age. The MOT history shows relatively consistent annual testing, with the most recent entries occurring in August 2024 and August 2025. The high mileage suggests significant wear on all mechanical and consumable components, including the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems. A physical inspection is necessary to verify the current state of components that frequently fail on high-mileage vehicles. Although the 2025 test recorded no defects, the previous failures in 2024 necessitate a close examination of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers. The buyer should also check for signs of corrosion on the chassis and exhaust system, as well as the condition of the brake discs and calipers to ensure no binding issues have returned. Given the high mileage and the history of failures in 2024, checking for fluid leaks and the integrity of rubber seals and hoses is advisable. While the recent records are clean, the cumulative mileage increases the likelihood of wear-related issues in the engine and gearbox that an MOT test does not specifically evaluate. buying_score: 62 risk_level: Medium.
