2014 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · MM14 XRL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 92,757 miles passed with only a minor advisory regarding a deteriorated front registration plate, the preceding years show significant mechanical neglect. The trend is currently stable in terms of passing, but the recurring failures suggest that the owner only addresses faults once they cause an MOT failure. With a recorded mileage of 92,757 miles over twelve years, the Mondeo averages approximately 7,730 miles per year, which is consistent with typical UK averages for its age. The data shows steady usage, with roughly 10,000 miles driven between March 2024 and March 2025, and another 10,000 miles covered between March 2025 and March 2026. This consistent interval suggests the car does not sit idle for long periods, which generally prevents fluid degradation of rubber components. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the braking system and suspension. The March 2024 failure revealed that all four rear brake pads were metal-to-metal with worn discs, a serious oversight that indicates a lack of basic preventative inspections. Furthermore, the history shows multiple tyre failures, including inner edge wear and structural cuts reaching the cords, which often points to underlying alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. The buyer should check for uneven tyre wear across the current set and ensure the rear brakes have been properly replaced rather than just patched.
