Why the fuel type changes the number
Hybrids sidestep most emissions failures and tend to do lighter urban miles, though the extra weight tells on tyres and brakes.
On the Ford Mondeo specifically, hybrid is the strongest at 88.5%, and this hybrid version sits 15.8 points above the 72.7% model average.
What it means if you are buying one
The hybrid 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 hybrid Ford Mondeo had covered 71,376 miles at test, against 121,151 for the diesel and 98,064 for the petrol and 120,151 for the electric. That is a shade above the middle of the range, still ordinary wear rather than a red flag, but worth checking against the service book for the car's age.
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.
