2007 Ford Mondeo 1.8L Petrol · NG07 NPN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the clean results of its most recent inspections. The latest MOT test conducted in October 2022 at 112,745 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the mechanical and safety components met the required standard at that time. While the history shows failures in 2020 and 2021, the owner successfully addressed the necessary issues to achieve subsequent clean passes. At a recorded mileage of 112,745 miles, this 19-year-old Ford averages approximately 5,900 miles per year. This is significantly lower than the national average, suggesting light use which typically places less strain on the drivetrain and engine components. However, the data shows a period of low activity, with only 2,550 miles covered between October 2021 and October 2022. Such low annual mileage can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber components, such as suspension bushes and tyres, which may perish regardless of tread mileage if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the structural integrity, specifically the sills and rear mounting points, as older Mondeos are prone to corrosion over time. Because the last recorded test was over three years ago, the current roadworthiness status is unverified and cannot be guaranteed by historical data alone. Check for signs of seized brake calipers or perished rubber hoses which are common issues in vehicles with low annual mileage patterns. Given the significant gap since the October 2022 MOT, a fresh inspection is a mandatory requirement to ensure the vehicle has not developed new mechanical faults or fluid leaks in the interim.
