Hi All

Anyone have any insight into how such vehicles spend their lives? Specifically looking at 5/6 year old Mondeos of which there seems to be a few for sale. First thoughts are they shouldn't have wanted for maintenance, but not sure to what extent they'll have been used and abused? Also seem to be mainly available in poverty spec trim. Remember seeing fleets of them outside HMS Drake when I worked at Devonport and thought they'd be good value used. Also a bit odd that they're re-registered when they are sold, so no MoT history available.

Cheers

Looking at the MoT database for some of these Mondeos, they all seem to have passed their first test (following re-registration) with no advisories. Is that likely to be a good indication of how they've been looked after up to that point or at least prepared for the test? Would have thought 100k+ at 6 years old would flag up something!

Quite a few at this place..
