2017 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · WT17 CPU

The vehicle presents an inconsistent maintenance history characterized by a failure to address consumable wear until failure occurs. While the most recent test in September 2025 at 80,441 miles was a pass, the front tyres were flagged as worn to the legal limit on both edges. This mirrors an issue seen in the September 2023 test at 58,727 miles, where the same advisory was issued. The recurring nature of uneven tyre wear suggests a persistent alignment issue or worn suspension components that the previous owner failed to rectify despite multiple warnings. The mileage profile of approximately 9,000 miles per year is consistent with typical domestic use for a 2017 Mondeo. However, the data reveals a significant lapse in preventative maintenance regarding the braking system. In September 2024 at 71,337 miles, the vehicle failed the MOT due to significantly worn rear brake discs and both front and rear brake pads being below the 1.5mm thickness threshold. The fact that these components were only replaced after a total test failure indicates that the owner only performs minimum necessary repairs rather than following a proactive service schedule. Earlier records from September 2022 at 48,049 miles noted a pitted and scored offside rear inner brake disc. While this was merely an advisory, it establishes a trend of corrosion and wear on the braking hardware over time. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension bushes and bushings to explain the repeated edge wear on the tyres across multiple years. The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the history suggests a reactive approach to mechanical upkeep where critical safety items like brakes and tyres are neglected until they reach a point of failure.
