2007 Ford Mondeo 1.8L Petrol · YR07 HKB

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness profile due to a lack of recent testing and recurring mechanical degradation. While it passed its last inspection in March 2022 at 64,140 miles, the car is now over four years overdue for a valid MOT. The maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive care, with persistent issues regarding brake lines and corrosion appearing across multiple years. The history suggests the owner only addressed the minimum requirements to pass the test rather than performing comprehensive preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,376 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression from 26,747 miles in 2014 to 64,140 miles in 2022. While this low usage typically reduces wear on the engine, the long intervals between tests often contribute to the accelerated corrosion of metal components and rubber seals. The significant gap in records since 2022 leaves the current state of the vehicle unknown despite the low mileage. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking and fuel delivery systems. The record highlights a chronic history of corrosion on the rear brake pipes and fuel pipes, dating back to 2017 and persisting into 2022. These lines are prone to sudden failure if the vehicle sits stationary for long periods, which the low mileage pattern suggests. Additionally, the 2022 test flagged a damaged offside steering rack gaiter and deminis play in the offside front wheel bearing. These components require immediate checking for signs of fluid leaks or mechanical failure that may have worsened significantly since the last recorded test.
