2015 Ford Mondeo Titanium Tdci 2.0L Diesel · XFZ 1676

The most recent MOT, carried out on 8 July 2026, was passed with no recorded defects, and the preceding six‑year MOT history shows a consistent pattern of clean passes. This uninterrupted record indicates that the vehicle has been maintained to a level that satisfies the statutory safety and emissions criteria, and there is no evidence of a deteriorating trend or recurring fault that would suggest emerging reliability concerns. At 128 859 miles on the odometer, the Mondeo averages roughly 11 700 miles per year over its eleven‑year life, which sits squarely within the typical usage envelope for a family saloon of this age. The mileage progression appears steady, with no large gaps that would hint at prolonged periods of inactivity; consequently, wear on consumables such as tyres, brakes and suspension components is likely to be in line with the recorded distance rather than being accelerated by short‑term high‑load usage. Given the clean MOT history, the buyer should focus on age‑related inspections. Examine the tyre sidewalls for cracking, dry rot or hardening, and verify that tread depth remains above the legal minimum, as rubber can perishes even on low‑kilometre tyres. Check the 12‑volt battery for signs of sulfation or reduced cranking power, particularly if the car has spent extended periods idle, and consider a load test or voltage check. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion, scoring or uneven wear, and ensure the calipers move freely without binding; any shudder or pulsation under braking would warrant disc resurfacing or replacement. Verify that the suspension bushings, especially the rear trailing arm and front lower control arm bushes, are supple and not cracked, and listen for clunks over bumps which could indicate worn coil springs or dampers. Finally, confirm that time‑based service items have been observed: engine oil and filter should have been changed at least every 10 000 miles or annually, coolant and brake fluid typically require replacement every two to three years, and the timing belt (if applicable) should have been serviced according to Ford’s schedule, usually around 100 000 miles. Look for any fresh oil or coolant leaks around the engine bay and under the vehicle, and inspect the exhaust system for rust or perforations that could affect emissions compliance. A thorough visual check of the chassis for rust, especially in wheel arches and under the sills, combined with a test drive that monitors for abnormal noises, vibrations or shifting irregularities, will give a comprehensive picture of the car’s current roadworthiness.
