2015 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · SL15 TPF

The 2015 Ford Mondeo has maintained a consistent MOT pass record since its most recent test on 27 January 2026, with no defects recorded at 112,528 miles. This suggests the vehicle has undergone regular servicing and passed all mandatory safety and emissions checks without fail. The absence of advisories or recurring faults in the last five tests indicates no obvious pattern of neglect or mechanical instability. However, the January 2023 failure at 79,728 miles—just one mile before passing the following day—appears anomalous and may warrant closer inspection of the test conditions or minor pre-test adjustments. Mileage progression shows a steady accumulation of approximately 10,230 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps or abrupt jumps in mileage between tests, though the 2022-2023 period saw a minor anomaly with the vehicle failing on the 16th of January at 79,728 miles before passing the next day at 79,729 miles. This suggests either a technical oversight in the initial test or a last-minute correction, but no further issues emerged in subsequent checks. The overall pattern implies responsible ownership with no evidence of prolonged inactivity or excessive wear from high mileage. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear suspension bushes and coil springs, as these are common wear items on this model at this mileage. The lack of advisories does not preclude gradual deterioration, so checking for uneven tyre wear—indicative of alignment issues—would be prudent. Braking systems, including rear caliper binding and front disc corrosion, should also be examined, as these are frequent failure points in older Mondeos. Structural integrity, especially around wheel arches and sills, should be assessed for corrosion, which can compromise safety even if not yet visible to the naked eye. Finally, the exhaust system should be inspected for leaks or excessive rust, as emissions-related faults are often the first to appear in MOT failures.
