2011 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · OCZ 3026

The most recent MOT on 2026-05-08 shows a pass , but the same date includes a failed MOT entry with identical defects. This suggests potential inconsistencies in the testing process or unresolved issues. Key defects listed in both include worn anti-roll bar bushes, shock absorbers with light oil misting, and non-excessive oil leaks. The failed MOT also notes incorrect rear direction indicator colours, a minor but safety-relevant issue. Recurring mechanical patterns over the past five years highlight suspension and braking system wear . Anti-roll bar bushes, shock absorbers, and coil springs have repeatedly failed or been flagged as worn, with no evidence of resolution. Oil leaks and corrosion (e.g., corroded coil springs) also persist, indicating ongoing exposure to environmental or mechanical stress. These issues are not critical but suggest gradual deterioration rather than sudden failure. The trend shows no clear improvement in the vehicle’s condition. Defects like worn suspension components and oil leaks reappear in multiple MOTs, including the latest one.
