The real detail is in the individual vehicle report — MOT history, AI Hunches, mileage timeline, and defect patterns for that specific reg.
There is no MOT test data available for the 1996 Ford Mondeo Ghia in the DVLA light-vehicle database, so we cannot tell you a pass rate or defect statistics for this cohort. This is likely because very few examples of a 28-year-old Mondeo are still being tested, or records have not been retained; the database primarily covers more recent vehicles.
What we do know is that the original Mondeo (1993–2000) was a solid mid-range family saloon with a reputation for reasonable durability, though 1990s Fords were prone to rust and electrical gremlins as they aged. If you're considering one today, budget for a thorough pre-purchase inspection by a specialist, as any surviving example will need careful assessment of rust, engine condition, and whether it has been properly maintained—age and mileage matter far more than national averages at this point.
We have 896 1996 Ford Mondeo Ghia vehicles on record, but none have light-vehicle MOT history in our data source.
There are a few reasons this can happen:
- Heavy commercial vehicle — trucks, buses and coaches over 3.5 tonnes are tested under the DVSA annual HGV/PSV regime, which uses a separate database not included in our data source
- Imported vehicles — vehicles registered abroad and recently brought to the UK may have no UK MOT history yet
- MOT-exempt — vehicles manufactured before 1986 qualify under the 40-year rolling exemption; some specialist and agricultural vehicles are also exempt
- Never used on public roads — some vehicles are registered but kept off-road and have never required an MOT
