2007 Ford Mondeo 1.8L Petrol · NG07 NHD

The roadworthiness of this vehicle is currently uncertain due to the lack of a valid MOT for nearly four years. The last recorded test in October 2022 at 141,968 miles resulted in a failure with no recorded defects, which often indicates an administrative error or a test-related rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Given that the current date is June 2026, the vehicle has been out of test status for a significant period, making the previous maintenance trend impossible to verify without a fresh inspection. The mileage accumulation remains consistent with typical annual use patterns, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per year over its nineteen-year life. Between November 2020 and November 2021, the car covered 8,712 miles, followed by an increase of 11,635 miles between November 2021 and October 2022. While these figures suggest the vehicle has not been overdriven, the long period of inactivity since the 2022 test increases the risk of rubber degradation, seized components, and fluid breakdown regardless of the relatively low total mileage. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection focusing on structural integrity and suspension components that typically degrade with age. Check the chassis for corrosion on the sills, subframe, and wheel arches, as these are common weak points on this generation of Mondeo. Examine the underside for perished suspension bushes, leaking shock absorbers, and binding brake calipers that may have developed rust from sitting stationary. Without a recent MOT record to confirm the state of the exhaust emissions and braking system, the vehicle remains an unknown risk.
