The Ford Mondeo has an average MOT pass rate of 76.2%, which is 8.9 percentage points below the Ford brand average of 85.1%. This is a reasonable result that reflects typical UK reliability standards. Regular servicing and addressing advisories promptly will help keep your Mondeo on the road.
The most common reasons a Ford Mondeo fails its MOT are the strength or continuity of the load bearing structure within 30cm of any sub-frame, spring or suspension component mounting (a 'prescribed area') is significantly reduced or inadequately repaired, vehicle structure corroded to the extent that the rigidity of the assembly is seriously reduced, brake pipe damaged or excessively corroded. If you are preparing your Mondeo for its MOT, checking these areas first could save you a retest fee. Our detailed fault analysis includes estimated repair costs for each failure type.
