2016 Ford Mondeo 1.5L Petrol · SN65 ACP

The 2016 Ford Mondeo presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 13 January 2026 at 57,283 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes from January 2022 through to the present date. Annual mileage sits at roughly 5,728 miles per year against a ten-year lifespan, marking this estate as low-use for its age. The records show steady, modest accumulation: 41,593 miles in January 2022, rising to 46,658 by January 2023, 50,766 in January 2024, 55,021 in January 2025, and 57,283 in January 2026. No gaps or sudden jumps appear. Such low, consistent figures paired with five consecutive passes with zero advisories imply a cautious owner and light duty cycles, though prolonged standing between short trips can age rubber components and brake surfaces without triggering test faults. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and the limits of MOT scope on lightly used cars. The clean history offers no flagged corrosion or structural concerns, yet ten-year-old Ford Mondeos commonly develop underbody rust and perished rear trailing arm bushes that a visual test may miss at low mileage. Verify the service history matches the recorded mileages and check tyre sidewall condition, brake caliper freedom, and exhaust emissions during a cold start. The absence of advisories across five tests suggests basic upkeep was not skipped, but the low annual run means wear has been time-driven rather than distance-driven.
