Ford Mondeo Titanium Tdci (2017)
2017 Ford Mondeo Titanium Tdci
CarHunch analysed 134 real MOT records for the 2017 Ford Mondeo Titanium Tdci. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2017 Ford Mondeo Titanium TDCi is a poor bet: only 46.5% pass on first MOT attempt, well below the UK average of 80%, and with a dangerously low CarHunch score of 25, these vehicles are clearly struggling. The good news is that no vehicles in this cohort have ever recorded a dangerous defect, so safety-critical failures aren't the issue here.
At an average mileage of 89,774 miles for a seven-year-old car, these Mondeos are running relatively hard, yet they're generating minimal failures and advisories (0.1 each per vehicle on average). The low repeat-failure rates suggest problems are scattered rather than systemic, but the poor first-time pass rate indicates something in the maintenance or mechanical condition of these specific examples is off—before buying one, get a full pre-purchase inspection and check its complete MOT history for patterns of the same fault coming back.
What to check before buying a 2017 Ford Mondeo Titanium 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.
