Why the fuel type changes the number
No exhaust, no emissions test and far fewer moving parts, which is why EVs post the highest pass rates of any fuel type. Tyres and suspension take the load instead, since they are heavier.
On the Ford Mondeo specifically, hybrid is the strongest at 88.5%, and this electric version sits 14.8 points above the 72.7% model average.
What it means if you are buying one
The electric Ford Mondeo is the stronger side of this model on MOT data. Still judge the individual car, but the fuel type is a mild point in its favour. Check the exact car, decode the VIN and check the mileage before you bid.
Mileage is part of the answer
The average electric Ford Mondeo had covered 120,151 miles at test, against 121,151 for the diesel and 98,064 for the petrol and 71,376 for the hybrid. That is high mileage, so timing belts, clutches, suspension bushes and corrosion are the items worth budgeting for rather than the MOT itself.
Fuel type and mileage are tangled together: diesels are usually bought by higher-mileage drivers, so some of any gap between fuels is the miles rather than the engine. The per-year figures on the Ford Mondeo page separate age from fuel if you want to isolate one.
