2008 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · SM04 AEM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT test on 13 February 2026 at 179,409 miles with no defects recorded. This follows a period of clean passes over the previous three years. Although a failure occurred on 09 February 2024, the immediate re-pass on the same day suggests the owner addressed the necessary repairs promptly, maintaining a consistent standard of operational readiness since then. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's 18-year age, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. Between February 2023 and February 2026, the car covered 18,718 miles, showing a steady usage pattern without significant gaps. The 6,943-mile interval between the 2024 and 2025 tests indicates the vehicle has been used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which generally helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and the seizing of brake components. Despite the clean recent records, the high mileage of this Ford Mondeo deitates a thorough physical inspection of high-wear mechanical areas. A buyer should examine the suspension bushes for excessive play and check the coil springs for signs of corrosion, as these often fatigue around 180,000 miles. Given the age, a close inspection of the chassis for structural rust, particularly on the rear subframe members, is essential to ensure the integrity of the frame remains sound beyond what a standard MOT might highlight.
