2008 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · ND58 ABV

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-06-30 at 152,104 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the past 18 months. Previous tests from 2024-07-03 (150,096 miles) and 2023-07-04 (147,672 miles) also passed without issues, suggesting consistent upkeep. However, a failed test on 2023-07-03 at the same mileage—despite no defects being noted—raises questions about potential technical anomalies or data inconsistencies. The absence of recurring mechanical faults in subsequent tests implies no escalating risks, but the 2023 failure warrants scrutiny to confirm whether it was a procedural error or an unrecorded issue. The vehicle’s mileage of 152,104 miles aligns with an average annual usage of 8,450 miles, typical for its 18-year age. The gap between the 2022-06-21 test (145,404 miles) and 2023-07-04 test (147,672 miles) reflects a 2,268-mile increase over 13 months, consistent with normal usage. No significant spikes or extended periods of inactivity are evident, which reduces concerns about component degradation from standing. The MOT history shows a clean record post-2023, with no advisories or critical failures, though the lack of detailed defect reports limits insight into minor wear patterns. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the braking system, given the 2023 failure’s unresolved nature, and verify that no underlying issues were overlooked. Suspension components, including coil springs and bushes, should be checked for age-related wear, as these often degrade over 18 years. Corrosion, particularly in body seams and underbody panels, is another risk due to the vehicle’s age, even if not flagged in MOT records. While the MOT data suggests no immediate dangers, the absence of detailed defect descriptions means a physical inspection is essential to confirm the car’s structural and mechanical integrity.
