2016 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · YR66 NTG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a slight decline in consumable upkeep. While the most recent test on 1 June 2026 at 82,222 miles passed, the tester identified both front tyres as worn close to the legal limit with edge wear. This indicates a potential alignment issue or uneven wear that remains unaddressed following the 2024 failure where the vehicle also struggled with headlamp aim and a perished rear tyre. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,200 miles per year. Between May 2025 and June 2026, the car covered 8,846 miles, while the period between June 2024 and May 2025 saw 6,945 miles. This steady usage suggests regular road miles rather than long periods of sitting, which is generally beneficial for rubber components and brake seals, despite the recurring tyre issues noted between 2023 and 2024. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension and alignment due to the edge wear flagged in the June 2026 advisory. The history of the nearside rear tyre cracking and perishing between 2023 and 2024 suggests the vehicle may have sat for periods or used low-quality rubber. While the record notes guards fitted to the underside of the vehicle across multiple years, a physical inspection is required to check for emerging structural corrosion that these guards might be masking.
