2008 Ford Mondeo 1.8L Diesel · YP58 CCO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the record shows a significant lapse in recent testing. The most recent MOT conducted on 31 August 2021 at 140,855 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating the car was in good mechanical condition at that time. However, given the current date of June 2026, the vehicle is now out of test by nearly five years. This gap in documentation leaves the current state of critical safety components, fluid integrity, and structural health unknown. The mileage pattern is consistent with an 18-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per annum. Between September 2019 and August 2021, the car covered 3,471 miles, representing a period of low usage of roughly 1,700 miles per year. This low frequency often leads to age-related issues such as seized brake calipers, perished rubber hoses, or fuel degradation from standing. The lack of any recorded entries since 2021 suggests the vehicle may have sat stationary for extended periods or the owner has neglected legal compliance for the last five years. A buyer must perform a thorough physical inspection to address the lack of recent data. Focus on the structural integrity of the sills, wing arches, and floor pans where corrosion is common on this generation of Mondeo. Because the previous MOT failures in 2019 and 2020 resulted in immediate retests, the previous owner was attentive to minor items, but the five-year hiatus necessitates a check for dry rot in suspension bushes and rusted brake discs. Inspect the tyres for flat spotting or cracking to ensure the low mileage has not caused the rubber to deteriorate through lack of movement.
