2017 Ford Mondeo 1.5L Diesel · VN17 ECC

The 2017 Ford Mondeo is roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 13 October 2025 at 84,017 miles. The maintenance record shows a stable trend; no serious defects have recurred and the only advisory concerns a near‑side rear child‑seat that limits belt inspection, which does not affect the vehicle’s mechanical condition. Mileage has risen from 60,032 miles at the 29 October 2021 test to 84,017 miles at the 13 October 2025 test, an average of roughly 6,000 miles per year. This is below the typical 9,000‑10,000 miles per annum for a vehicle of this age, indicating modest use and no evidence of abrupt mileage spikes. Annual testing has been consistent, with recorded tests in 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025, leaving no significant gaps in the MOT history. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of the rear braking system, as the 30 October 2020 test recorded worn, pitted rear discs and the 17 October 2023 test flagged thin rear pads on both sides. Inspect the discs for scoring beyond the noted wear and confirm pad thickness is within safe limits. The 30 October 2020 test also noted a slight front‑wiper smear and a 29 October 2021 failure for ineffective near‑side wiper clearance; checking wiper performance and blade condition is advisable. Finally, a visual inspection for corrosion on the chassis and suspension components will confirm that no hidden structural issues have developed despite the clean MOT record.
