2017 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · RV67 VRX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear trend of improving maintenance following a significant failure. The most recent test in November 2025 at 54,808 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories. This indicates that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed and that the vehicle has since maintained a high standard of operational readiness over the last three consecutive annual inspections. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle profile, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year over its nine-year life. Between November 2022 at 41,328 miles and November 2025 at 54,808 miles, the car covered 13,480 miles. This steady accumulation suggests minimal wear on drivetrain components and suspension bushings, though low mileage also increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber components and seals during long periods of inactivity. A buyer should verify that the front braking system remains properly maintained, as the 2022 failure flagged thin brake pads and tyres at the legal minimum limit. While the windscreen wiper issues were rectified during that same period, a physical inspection of the wiper arms and blades is necessary to ensure they have not perished from age. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the last three tests, the focus should shift to checking for corrosion on the underbody and exhaust system, which are often overlooked in standard MOT tests until they reach a critical threshold.
