2016 Ford Mondeo 1.5L Petrol · VO16 VTY

This vehicle demonstrates an exceptionally stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent MOT on 7 October 2025 at 22,675 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This mirrors the outcomes of the four previous annual tests dating back to September 2021, indicating a consistent level of mechanical integrity and a lack of recurring faults. The mileage is remarkably low for a ten year old vehicle, averaging roughly 2,268 miles per year. The odometer readings show a steady, low-volume increase over the last five years, rising from 12,347 miles in September 2021 to 22,675 miles by October 2025. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or suspicious gaps in the testing sequence, suggesting the car has been used sparingly but regularly. Low mileage vehicles often suffer from degradation due to inactivity rather than wear. A buyer should specifically check for perished rubber components, such as suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, which can crack over time even without high mileage. Brake discs should be inspected for surface corrosion or pitting, and the battery health should be verified given the light annual usage. The absence of any advisories regarding structural corrosion or exhaust emissions across five years of testing is a positive indicator. While the DVSA records show a flawless history, a physical inspection should focus on fluid conditions and the absence of leaks that may develop when a vehicle spends long periods standing.
