Ford Mondeo Edge 130 Tdci (2007)
2007 Ford Mondeo Edge 130 Tdci
CarHunch analysed 126 real MOT records for the 2007 Ford Mondeo Edge 130 Tdci. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2007 Mondeo diesel is a genuine reliability concern: it passes its MOT first time just 59.9% of the time, significantly below the UK average of 80%, meaning four out of every ten examples fail their test. The good news is that dangerous defects are extremely rare (0%), so failures tend to be fixable rather than safety-critical.
At 134,000 miles median, these are high-mileage cars for their age, yet they're averaging 0.89 failures per test, which suggests wear and tear rather than catastrophic breakdown. If you're considering this model, budget for repairs when it fails its test—but know that you're unlikely to encounter a hidden structural or safety issue that would make the car uneconomical to fix.
What to check before buying a 2007 Ford Mondeo Edge 130 Tdci
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
