Our Verdict
A dependable high-mileage example of the
Given that the vehicle has now exceeded 100,000 miles, the primary focus should be on the service history. Specifically, verify if the timing belt and water pump have been replaced, as this is a critical maintenance item for this engine variant at this mileage interval.
Negotiate based on the current state of the rear tyres and brake pads. The April 2026 MOT specifically noted perished and undulating rear tyres, and the 2025 test flagged thin rear brake pads; if these have not been replaced since the tests, they represent immediate costs for the new owner.
The 1997cc diesel engine is geared towards fuel efficiency for long-distance driving, though annual costs will be influenced by the vehicle's 2017 tax band and insurance group. Maintenance costs typically rise once a vehicle surpasses 100,000 miles as wear-and-tear components require more frequent replacement.
Expected annual expenditure will cover diesel fuel, road tax, insurance, and a standard annual service. Based on the mileage and engine size, these costs are moderate for a vehicle of this class.
Carefully inspect the rear tyres for the cracking and inner-edge undulation mentioned in the 2026 MOT report. Check the remaining thickness of the rear brake pads, which were flagged as wearing thin in March 2025.
Additionally, ensure the headlamp aim is correct and that the nearside registration plate lamp, which was inoperative in 2025, is now functioning. Check for any signs of wear consistent with the model's common failure points, such as windscreen wiper degradation.
This black 2017 Ford Mondeo 2.0L diesel has recorded 100,145 miles as of April 2026. Its MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passing, with one failure in 2024 for headlamp aim and recent advisories regarding rear tyre perishing and brake pad wear.
The Mondeo has an average MOT pass rate of 78.1%, with common failure points typically being tyres, brake pads, and windscreen wipers.
