2015 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · PO15 OWR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift towards deteriorating suspension components. While it passed its most recent test in early June 2026 at 152,528 miles, the tester identified corrosion on all four coil springs. This represents a progression from the June 2025 test, where three springs were already flagged. The presence of widespread corrosion across the entire axle suggests the suspension system is reaching the end of its operational life due to age and mileage. The mileage profile indicates consistent high-intensity use, averaging approximately 14,000 miles per year over the eleven-year period. Between June 2024 and June 2025, the car covered 20,748 miles, followed by another 19,591 miles in the subsequent year. This rapid accumulation of mileage explains the accelerated wear noted in the 2025 record where all four tyres were flagged for being near the legal limit. High mileage typically places significant stress on the drivetrain and chassis components. A buyer must prioritize a thorough physical inspection of the entire suspension geometry to ensure the corrosion on the coil springs has not affected the mounting points or subframe. The 2025 advisories regarding uneven tyre wear also suggest potential issues with alignment or worn control arm bushings that were not addressed. Given the high mileage and the recurring nature of the faults, checking for shock absorber leaks and play in the steering joints is essential, as these components are likely nearing imminent failure.
