2008 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · SC08 BWL

The vehicle holds a clean MOT status based on the two most recent recorded tests. The May 2023 test at an unspecified mileage passed with no defects, following a successful test on 11 April 2022 which also showed no defects. This indicates a stable trend regarding the specific items inspected by the DVSA during these two annual checks. The current recorded mileage of 180,027 miles reflects an average annual usage of approximately 10,000 miles over the vehicle's 18-year lifespan. The provided data shows a gap between the April 2022 and May 2023 tests, but the lack of recorded mileage for those specific dates prevents a precise assessment of annual distance accumulation. The total mileage is consistent with typical long-term usage for a vehicle of this age. Because the MOT history shows no recorded failures or advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion, there is no documented evidence of mechanical decline in these areas. A physical inspection remains necessary to check for common age-related issues not captured in these specific tests, such as fluid leaks, exhaust system degradation, or the condition of the tyres and wiper blades. A buyer should focus on verifying the integrity of the underside and suspension components, as the MOT record provides no data on the current state of the chassis or braking system beyond the passing certificates. Given the high mileage, checking the condition of the drivetrain and various rubber seals would be a prudent step during a manual inspection. buying_score: 75 risk_level: Low.
