2014 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · YM63 FSG

The 2014 Ford Mondeo is presently not roadworthy following its April 2026 MOT failure at 151,730 miles, and the maintenance trend shows recurring failures rather than stability. The recent failure indicates that the vehicle cannot be considered safe to drive until the underlying issues are resolved. The recorded mileage of 151,730 at 12 years old translates to roughly 12,644 miles per year, which is high for the vehicle's age. Mileage jumps from 130,375 on 14 February 2024 to 130,442 on 1 March 2024 (67 miles), then to 141,984 on 1 April 2025 (11,542 miles), and finally to 151,730 on 2 April 2026 (9,746 miles), showing accelerated usage in the last year while earlier intervals were modest. A buyer should inspect suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, examine brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear, check the chassis and wheel arches for structural rust, and verify exhaust condition and emission compliance, as the repeated test failures imply possible underlying mechanical issues. The high annual mileage combined with a sharp increase in the past year and a pattern of failed tests with no recorded defects suggests potential neglect of critical components, making a thorough pre‑purchase inspection essential to confirm actual condition.
