2017 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · RV67 VRY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a clean pass in the August 2025 test at 41,954 miles. This most recent result shows no defects, suggesting that previous issues with consumables have been addressed. The maintenance trend shows a period of instability during 2023, characterized by a failure and subsequent advisories, but the vehicle has since moved into a period of consistent compliance. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2017 model, averaging approximately 4,662 miles per year. The record shows steady, incremental growth from 36,390 miles in November 2022 to 41,954 miles in August 2025. This pattern indicates light usage or infrequent long-distance travel. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, the history suggests the car may have spent periods stationary, which can impact rubber components. The MOT history highlights a recurring issue with tyre wear and condition. In August 2023, the vehicle failed due to a cut in the offside front tyre and a non-functional side repeater. The tester also flagged both rear tyres for being worn close to the legal limit on the inner edges during both the 2023 failure and the 2024 test at 40,307 miles. The pattern of inner edge wear on the rear tyres strongly suggests an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. A prospective buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the rear suspension geometry and check for uneven tyre wear on all four wheels. Given the previous advisories regarding perishing and cracking on the offside rear tyre in August 2024, the age and condition of all rubber seals and tyres should be verified. Although the most recent test was clear, the history of alignment-related wear warrants a close look at the rear axle components and steering linkages.
