The Ford Mondeo Ghia X TDCI has an overall MOT pass rate of 71.1% across 204 real MOT tests — roughly in line with the UK average.

A typical Ford Mondeo Ghia X TDCI owner drives around 5,724 miles per year. If the car you're looking at is significantly above this, expect more wear on suspension, brakes and tyres.
