Our Verdict
A solid recommendation for those seeking a diesel saloon with a relatively clean recent history. The vehicle has passed its last three consecutive MOT tests without any recorded defects.
When inspecting this specific white Mondeo, focus on the diesel engine's performance, particularly checking for any signs of turbocharger issues or DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) clogging, which are common in high-mileage diesel engines. Although the recent MOT history shows no defects, you should request physical proof of service history to confirm oil changes have been performed at the correct intervals.
Negotiate based on the mileage; at 77,289 miles, this vehicle has covered significantly more than the typical annual average for this model. Check the condition of the tyres and brake pads, as these are the most common failure points for the Mondeo across the wider dataset of 250,446 vehicles analyzed.
As a 1997cc diesel, this Mondeo is designed for efficient long-distance cruising, though running costs will depend on your specific driving style and annual mileage. You should check the specific tax band and insurance group for this 2016 registration, as these can vary based on the exact trim level.
Maintenance costs for this model typically involve periodic replacements of consumables like tyres and brake components. Given the aggregate data, you should budget for these items as part of your regular upkeep. The estimated annual running cost is based on average UK fuel prices and standard maintenance requirements.
Given the model's aggregate failure data, pay close attention to the tyres, brake pipes, and brake pads during your physical inspection. While this specific vehicle has had no defects recorded since its 2023 failure, these components remain the most frequent reasons for failure in the wider Mondeo population.
Additionally, inspect the underside of the vehicle for any signs of corrosion or leaks, particularly around the braking system. Ensure all electronic components and sensors are functioning correctly, as modern Ford models rely heavily on integrated electronic systems.
This 2016 Ford Mondeo (ML66GXK) is a 2.0L diesel model currently sitting at 77,289 miles. While it experienced a single MOT failure in March 2023 at 53,713 miles, the subsequent three tests in 2024, 2025, and 2026 have all resulted in passes with no defects recorded. The mileage is higher than the model average of 7,919 per year, but the recent inspection results suggest consistent compliance with MOT standards.
Across 250,446 analysed vehicles, the Ford Mondeo shows an average MOT pass rate of 78.0%, with common failures related to tyres, brake pipes, and brake pads.
