2006 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Petrol · SN06 OFY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on a consistent history of clean passes over several years. The most recent recorded test conducted in October 2021 at 128,766 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories, indicating that the car was maintained to a functional standard at that time. However, as there has been no MOT data recorded for nearly five years, the current mechanical and structural integrity of the vehicle remains unverified and likely out of compliance given the significant time lapse since the last inspection. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,400 miles per annum. Between October 2018 and October 2021, the car covered 18,490 miles, maintaining a steady usage rate of roughly 6,163 miles per year. This low annual mileage suggests light commuting rather than heavy commercial use, which typically results in less wear on drivetrain components and suspension bushings. The single failure in October 2018 at 110,276 miles followed immediately by a pass on the same day suggests a minor issue that was rectified instantly by the owner. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of structural corrosion and rubber components, as the vehicle is now twenty years old and has lacked documented professional oversight for years. Low annual mileage often leads to issues with seized brake calipers, perished coolant hoses, and cracked tyres due to lack of regular movement. Inspect the underbody for structural rust on the sills and rear subframe, and check for common Ford suspension weaknesses of this era. Given the gap in testing records since 2021, a fresh MOT is mandatory to identify any mechanical leaks or safety failures that have developed during the extended period of inactivity or continued use.
