2014 Ford Mondeo 1.6L Diesel · YA14 YEU

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent test on July 10, 2025 at 102,698 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. This follows a period of consecutive clean passes, indicating that the previous owner has effectively addressed mechanical and safety-related requirements to meet DVSA standards since the single failure recorded three years prior. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per annum. Between July 2024 and July 2025, the car covered 11,589 miles, showing a slight increase in usage. There is a notable gap in records between October 2022 and October 2022, where the vehicle was retested just one day after an initial failure at 73,965 miles. The overall mileage suggests the car has not been excessively stressed, which typically preserves the integrity of drivetrain components and suspension-related wear items. Despite the clean recent history, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components common to the Mondeo of this age and mileage. The failure in October 2022 suggests a minor defect was present previously, but the buyer should still check for perished suspension bushes or worn control arm bolts, as these often degrade over time regardless of mileage. Inspecting the underside for surface corrosion and checking the brake lines for degradation is also essential to ensure no hidden structural weakness has developed over the twelve-year lifespan.
