1993 Ford Mondeo Glx

CarHunch is tracking 11,958 1993 Ford Mondeo Glx vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.

This 1993 Ford Mondeo GLX has a 0% first-time pass rate, meaning every vehicle in this cohort of nearly 12,000 failed its MOT on first attempt—far below the UK average of 80%. With zero dangerous defects recorded and petrol models showing the same 0% pass rate, the failures aren't safety-critical but rather reflect the inevitable wear and tear of a 30-year-old car.

At this age, any 1993 Mondeo will need significant work to meet current MOT standards, and you should budget accordingly for suspension, emissions, lighting, and structural repairs. If you're considering one, have a trusted mechanic inspect it thoroughly before purchase and expect to spend considerably on bringing it up to roadworthy condition.

What to check before buying a 1993 Ford Mondeo Glx

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.
