2018 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · TL54 DAD

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness based on a consistently clean MOT history. The most recent inspection conducted on 16 July 2025 at 70,220 miles resulted in a pass with zero defects, maintaining a trend of perfect scores across the last five tests. This suggests that the previous owners have maintained the car to a standard that avoids the mechanical failures or structural degradation typically flagged during annual DVSA testing. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,778 miles per year. Between February 2022 and July 2025, the car covered 26,812 miles, indicating steady and predictable usage. The short interval between the February 2023 and July 2023 tests shows an accumulation of 4,194 miles, which aligns with typical annual commuting habits. This low-to-moderate mileage profile reduces the likelihood of finding drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and brake assemblies in advanced stages of wear compared to high-mileage fleet vehicles. While the digital record shows no recurring advisories or faults, a physical inspection should still focus on common wear points for a Mondeo of this age. Check the condition of the front wish arm bushes and coil springs for rubber cracking, as these often perish before triggering an MOT failure. The buyer should also inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting and examine the underbody for early structural rust, as the MOT does not detect minor surface-level oxidation until it compromises structural integrity.
