The most common problems on the Ford Mondeo Ghia TDCI are exhaust has a major leak of exhaust gases (1 recorded failures), tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (1), and brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (1). These are the faults most likely to cause an MOT failure on this model, so check for them carefully on any test drive or pre-purchase inspection. Many are wear-and-tear items that can be budgeted for, but a car that's already failing on multiple fronts may signal neglected maintenance.
On the safety side, the most frequently flagged dangerous fault is coil spring mounting insecure to the extent that relative movement is visible.

Before committing to a purchase, we recommend running a full vehicle history check on the specific car. This will reveal any outstanding finance, stolen markers, write-off history and mileage discrepancies that the seller may not disclose — and that the MOT data alone can't tell you.
