2014 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · MV14 FEG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 16 July 2025 with 130,725 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of stability following a period of mechanical neglect in 2024. The most recent failure involved a minor headlamp alignment issue which was rectified immediately to secure a pass, suggesting the current owner is responsive to safety-related defects rather than allowing minor faults to accumulate. At 130,725 miles over 12 years, the car averages approximately 10,900 miles per year, which aligns closely with national averages for a vehicle of this age. The record shows consistent usage, with roughly 5,000 miles covered between the July 2023 and August 2024 tests, and another 4,370 miles in the following year. This regular interval suggests the vehicle is not sat stationary for long periods, which helps prevent premature degradation of rubber components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the nearside sill, as the 2024 test noted damage to this area. While it did not cause a failure at that time, sills are prone to corrosion on older Mondeos and require close monitoring for hidden rust bloom. The rear trailing arm bushes were flagged as perished and split in August 2024; you must verify that these were replaced with high-quality parts and that there is no remaining play in the suspension or uneven tyre wear during a test drive.
