2021 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · YS70 YMF

The vehicle remains technically roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of deferred consumable upkeep. While it passed its latest MOT on 13 October 2025 at 60,953 miles, it returned with advisories for three tyres reaching the legal limit. This mirrors the findings from the 13 September 2024 test at 57,187 miles, suggesting that the owner consistently delays tyre replacement until they reach the point of failure. The mileage pattern reflects consistent high use of approximately 12,000 miles per year, which is significant for a five-year-old Mondeo. Between the 2023 test at 47,639 miles and the 2025 test at 60,953 miles, the vehicle covered 13,314 miles. This steady accumulation suggests the car is likely used for long-distance commuting or motorway driving, placing specific stresses on the suspension components, drivetrain bushings, and braking system. A buyer must perform a thorough inspection of the wheel alignment, as the recurring reports of uneven edge wear on the nearside front and offside front tyres suggest a tracking issue or worn suspension bushes. Given the high mileage, the condition of the brake discs and pads should be checked for thinning or uneven wear. The lack of structural defects in the 2023 record indicates the chassis remains sound, but the recurring tyre advisories highlight a reactive rather than proactive approach to vehicle maintenance.
