2008 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · ND58 AFJ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-09-11 at 204,549 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. However, the preceding test on 2025-09-08 at 204,522 miles resulted in a fail despite no defects being noted. This suggests potential inconsistency in testing outcomes, possibly due to procedural errors or minor technicalities. The 2024-09-12 test at 199,215 miles also passed without defects, while the prior fail on 2024-09-10 at 199,213 miles mirrored the same pattern. These results imply the vehicle has met legal standards recently but may require closer scrutiny for recurring non-technical issues. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for an 18-year-old vehicle, averaging 11,364 miles annually. From 2023-08-23 (193,355 miles) to 2025-09-11, the odometer increased by 11,194 miles over 25 months, reflecting steady, consistent driving. No significant gaps or rapid accumulation are evident, suggesting the vehicle has not been left unused for extended periods. The MOT history lacks detailed defect reports, which could indicate either a clean maintenance record or limited diagnostic depth in the tests. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, common in older models, and check for binding calipers or uneven brake disc wear. Corrosion in the exhaust system and underbody should be assessed, as these components degrade over time. While the MOT records show no critical failures, the repeated fails without defect notes warrant verification of repair history. The vehicle’s age and mileage necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the absence of hidden mechanical or structural issues.
