2014 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · PE14 AEK

The 2014 Ford Mondeo demonstrates stable roadworthiness based on its MOT history, with all tests from 2022 to 2026 passing without defects. The most recent March 2026 inspection at 171,276 miles confirmed no issues, aligning with prior results. This consistent record suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a standard meeting legal requirements, with no emerging mechanical or structural concerns over the past four years. The mileage progression shows a steady annual increase of approximately 7,000–8,000 miles, reflecting regular use rather than prolonged inactivity. From 139,074 miles in 2022 to 171,276 in 2026, the accumulation aligns with the vehicle’s age, though the total exceeds typical averages for its model. No gaps in testing or sudden spikes in mileage are evident, indicating a predictable usage pattern. This consistency reduces the likelihood of hidden wear from neglect but does not eliminate the need for thorough inspection of high-mileage components. A buyer should prioritise checking suspension integrity, including bushes and coil springs, which may show wear from extended use. Brake discs and calipers should be assessed for uneven wear or binding, as high mileage often accelerates these issues. Corrosion, particularly in underbody areas, warrants scrutiny, as does the exhaust system for leaks or deterioration. While the MOT record shows no advisories, the vehicle’s age and mileage justify a detailed mechanical review to confirm continued reliability.
