2014 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · TG14 EDY

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a stable trend of progressive structural corrosion and component wear. The most recent test in May 2026 at 113,025 miles confirmed the presence of corrosion on the rear sub-frame and worn rear axle swivel pins and bushes. While the vehicle continues to pass, the persistence of these advisories across the last four years indicates that components are being reaching the end of their functional life rather than being proactively replaced. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,400 miles per year. Records show a steady climb from 86,328 miles in May 2022 to 113,025 miles in May 2026. This regular usage suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of inactivity, which often leads to accelerated corrosion, but the consistent mileage explains the gradual degradation of rubber bushes and the oxidation of metal surfaces seen in the MOT history. A buyer must prioritise a thorough physical inspection of the rear sub-frame to determine the depth of the corrosion, as this has been flagged since at least 2024 and shows no signs of improvement. The recurring issues with rear axle swivel pins and front suspension arm bushes suggest the suspension geometry may require a significant overhaul shortly to prevent handling issues or noise. Additionally, the front brake discs have been noted as worn, pitted, or scored since 2023; the buyer should verify the current thickness and condition of these discs to ensure they are not nearing immediate replacement.
