2002 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Petrol · RO52 AEG

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-04-02 at 127,634 miles resulted in a failure, though no defects were recorded. This follows a pattern of repeated pass/fail outcomes on identical dates and mileages in 2024 and 2023, suggesting potential administrative errors or unresolved minor issues. The absence of recorded defects in these tests does not confirm roadworthiness, as failures may indicate unrecorded faults or procedural inconsistencies. The maintenance trend shows no clear improvement or deterioration, but the lack of detailed defect reporting limits definitive conclusions. The vehicle’s mileage of 127,634 miles at 24 years old equates to approximately 5,318 annual miles, significantly lower than average. This suggests prolonged periods of inactivity or minimal use, increasing risks of corrosion, rubber degradation, and fluid stagnation. The MOT history lacks gaps, with tests conducted annually, but the identical mileage and dates in 2023–2025 raise questions about the accuracy of recorded data. The low mileage may mask wear on components like suspension bushes or drivetrain parts, which require closer inspection. A buyer should prioritise checking for rust, particularly in structural areas, and assess suspension components for wear given the low mileage. Brake systems, including discs and calipers, should be examined for uneven wear or corrosion, as inactivity can lead to binding or seizing. The absence of recorded defects does not eliminate risks, and the vehicle’s age necessitates a thorough mechanical inspection to verify the integrity of critical systems. The MOT history provides limited insight, requiring in-person evaluation to confirm itsTrue condition.
