2017 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · SH66 ADS

The 2017 Ford Mondeo presents a broadly roadworthy status as of the August 2025 test cycle, with the maintenance trend reading as stable and largely uneventful. The tester passed the car on 19 August 2025 at 61,073 miles with no defects recorded. One day earlier, on 18 August 2025 at the same mileage, the vehicle failed the test yet the record shows no defects listed; this points to an administrative or documentation failure rather than a mechanical fault, and the owner corrected it within 24 hours. Annual mileage sits at a modest 6,786 miles per year against the car's nine-year life, which is typical for the age. The records show clean, linear accumulation: 31,153 miles in August 2022, 41,142 in August 2023, 50,603 in August 2024, and 61,073 by August 2025. No gaps or sudden jumps appear. Every test from 2022 through 2025 passed with no advisories, so the history gives no evidence of deferred consumable replacement or ignored wear items. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, and underbody structural integrity, since the MOT record carries no advisories that would flag emerging corrosion or wear. The clean sheet across four years suggests previous owners kept basic upkeep current, but a fault-free MOT does not certify component life remaining. Given the low annual use, check for age-related perishing of rubber components and stale fluid rather than high-mileage fatigue. The same-day fail and pass in August 2025 warrants a glance at the V5C and test certificate to confirm the nil-defect failure was clerical. Otherwise the documented history supports a sound used purchase.
