Ford Mondeo (2022)
2022 Ford Mondeo
CarHunch analysed 232 real MOT records for the 2022 Ford Mondeo. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2022 Ford Mondeo is notably reliable, with a 92.9% first-time pass rate that sits well above the UK average of 80%—a strong signal for buyers. Dangerous defects are rare, affecting only 7.3% of vehicles, so safety isn't a concern for this cohort.
At nearly 34,000 miles on average, these Mondeos have covered reasonable ground for their age, yet they're delivering excellent durability with just 0.19 failures per vehicle. The hybrid electric versions (93% of the fleet) average 0.9 advisories each, suggesting minor wear is expected but serious trouble is uncommon—if you're considering a used 2022 Mondeo, have a pre-purchase inspection done, but don't expect major surprises.
What to check before buying a 2022 Ford Mondeo
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.
