2016 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · NV16 KKL

The 2016 Ford Mondeo presents as roadworthy following its most recent pass on 24 May 2025 at 57,662 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The latest test showed no defects, though the same-day failure at 57,658 miles on 24 May 2025 is anomalous as the DVSA record lists no defects against that failure. A prior failure on 24 April 2024 at 49,205 miles also carries no recorded defects. These entries suggest administrative or presentation anomalies in the MOT log rather than mechanical faults, and the vehicle has cleared every test that proceeded to a pass without advisories. The odometer reads 57,662 miles against a ten-year lifespan, equating to roughly 5,766 miles per year and confirming light use for the model. Mileage moved from 32,836 at the April 2023 test to 49,205 by April 2024, a 16,369-mile jump in twelve months, then rose only 8,457 miles to the May 2025 test. The sparse three-year record with clean passes indicates the prior keeper used the car modestly and kept it to test-standard condition, though the low annual average also raises the prospect of extended standing periods between runs. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and the unexplained same-day fail/pass pairs in 2024 and 2025. The absence of recorded advisories means no corrosion, exhaust emissions issues, or binding calipers were flagged by testers. Verify the V5C and DVSA test certificate to clarify the zero-defect failures, as the log alone does not explain why the vehicle was rejected then cleared within hours on two separate occasions.
