2015 Ford Mondeo 1.6L Diesel · SC15 XFF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test on December 17 2025 at 94,835 miles passed despite new advisories for thin offside rear brake pads and a perished offside rear tyre. This mirrors a failure in the December 2024 test where the same brake issue was flagged alongside a non-functional nearside front position lamp. The recorded mileage of 94,835 miles over eleven years represents an average usage of approximately 8,600 miles per annum, which aligns with typical demand for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 6,000 miles driven between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 6,000 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests. This regularity suggests the car is not sitting stationary for long periods, which generally helps prevent premature fluid degradation or rubber perish. A buyer must prioritize inspecting the rear braking system, as the recurring advisory for thin offside rear pads has persisted across two consecutive years without evidence of a full replacement or replacement. The tester also noted a cracking or perishing tyre in late 2025, indicating that the rubber is reaching the end of its life regardless of tread depth. Physical inspection of the suspension bushes and coil springs is also advised, as the clean records from 2022 and 2023 do not account for the inevitable wear expected on these components as a Mondeo approaches 100,000 miles.
