2020 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · MM64 LEO

The most recent MOT in October 2025 was a pass, but it included an advisory for a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit. This suggests that tyre maintenance remains a point of concern for this vehicle. There is a concerning pattern of neglect regarding consumables, specifically tyres and brakes. In 2024, the car failed multiple tests due to severe tyre damage, including cuts reaching the ply or cords and exposed cords on the offside front. More critically, a failure in October 2024 revealed that all four brake discs were worn, pitted, or scored, the front pads were thin, and the parking brake was inefficient. The overall condition trend appears unstable. While the vehicle has passed its most recent tests, the severity of the 2024 failures indicates a period where basic safety checks were overlooked. The fact that a tyre is already nearing its legal limit again by late 2025 suggests a continuing trend of reactive rather than proactive maintenance. The mileage of 50,865 miles is typical for a six-year-old car. Because the mileage is average, the presence of pitted brake discs and tyres worn to the cords is not due to high-mileage wear and tear, but rather suggests poor upkeep or potentially harsh driving conditions.
