2014 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · WU64 CFV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive ownership. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 153,720 miles passed with no defects, this followed a failure just two months prior. That November 2025 failure highlighted multiple issues including a defective exhaust mounting, a damaged vision mirror, and poor-performing wipers. The trend suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical faults when forced by an MOT failure, rather than servicing components before they wear out. At 153,720 miles, this twelve-year-old Ford has seen significant use, averaging approximately 12,800 miles per year. There is a notable jump in usage between July 2019 and January 2021, where the vehicle covered over 15,000 miles in just eighteen months. Since then, the mileage accumulation has remained consistent, often exceeding 7,000 to 8,000 miles between tests. This high annual mileage has placed continuous stress on wear-related components, particularly within the suspension and braking systems. A buyer must prioritise inspect the suspension and wheel geometry. The record shows a persistent issue with uneven tyre wear across multiple years, specifically from 2023 through 2025, where tyres were frequently worn on the edges. This indicates chronic alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that have been left unaddressed. Furthermore, the 2022 failure flagged corroded front brake pipes and fluctuating brake discs. A thorough physical inspection of the brake lines for corrosion and the condition of the rear discs is essential to ensure rust has not progressed into structural failure of the lines.
