2008 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · NG08 OCX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on March 6, 2026, at 171,415 miles. While the record shows immediate failures prior to these passes in both 2025 and 2026, the final results indicate no current defects or advisory items. The total lack of recorded advisories across multiple years suggests that the mechanical and structural components currently meet the minimum legal standard. At 171,415 miles over an 18-year span, the vehicle averages approximately 9,523 miles per annum. This aligns closely with typical UK usage patterns for a car of this age. The data shows consistent operation, with roughly 7,000 miles covered between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 3,170 miles recorded between March 2025 and March 2026. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of inactivity, which often leads to seized components or internal corrosion. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear areas common to high-mileage Ford Mondeos. Despite the clean MOT sheets, the age and mileage necessitate a close check of suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, which often degrade before failing a test. Inspect the structural integrity of the sills and wheel arches for corrosion, as the MOT test only flags structural rust once it reaches significant depth. Given the mileage, verifying the brake system for binding calipers or thin discs is also essential to ensure the recent pass reflects genuine mechanical health.
