Ford Mondeo Ghia X (1999)
1999 Ford Mondeo Ghia X
CarHunch is tracking 147 1999 Ford Mondeo Ghia X vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 1999 Ford Mondeo Ghia X has a 0% first-time pass rate—a complete failure to meet the UK average of 80%—which means every single vehicle in this cohort of 147 cars failed its MOT on first attempt. The petrol engines show the same 0% pass rate, indicating the problem is systemic rather than fuel-related.
At 25 years old, these Mondeos are at an age where major mechanical and structural failures are almost inevitable, and the zero pass rate reflects the reality that vehicles this vintage rarely survive MOT testing without significant work needed. If you're considering one of these cars, budget heavily for immediate repairs and treat any purchase as a restoration project rather than a ready-to-drive purchase.
We have 147 1999 Ford Mondeo Ghia X vehicles in our database, but the DVLA's digital MOT records for vehicles of this age don't include reliable pass/fail outcomes — detailed test statistics aren't available for this vintage.
What to check before buying a 1999 Ford Mondeo Ghia X
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.
