2011 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · ML11 LVM

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on October 31 2025 with 165,222 miles. The maintenance trend shows a reactive pattern where the owner addresses specific mechanical failures only immediately following a failure. While the car failed just two days prior to that test due to a worn offside front track rod end and illegal nearside front tyres, the subsequent pass indicates that these critical safety items were rectified. The mechanical condition appears stable provided the flagged faults remain resolved. At 165,222 miles over 15 years, the Mondeo averages approximately 11,000 miles per year, which aligns closely with typical national averages for a vehicle of this age. The record shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 5,500 miles driven between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 5,200 miles covered between October 2024 and 2025. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, which helps prevent the premature degradation of rubber components and internal corrosion. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the 2025 failure of the track rod end ball joint indicates wear in the steering linkage. The recurring mentions of tyres worn on the edges in 2023 and 2025 suggest potential alignment issues or worn shock absorbers that require monitoring to prevent premature tyre scrubbing. Additionally, the exhaust mounting noted in 2023 should be visually checked to ensure the system is not sagged or vibrating excessively, which could lead to structural damage to the manifold over time.
