Mondeo - abs light on - Apollo23
Hi everyone,

I was hoping for a bit of advice.

I'm looking at a Mk3 Mondeo Zetec 1.8 tomorrow as I'm looking for something to keep me going for a few months.

The car description sounds ok bar one thing - ABS light is on. Having read around mondeos I realise that its most likely to be wheel sensors which are cheap to replace. But there's also a chance I suppose that the worst case scenario is the ABS system needing replaced at v high cost.

Given the probabilities, is it worth the risk of buying the car?

Or are there any simple tests I can do while examining and driving it tomorrow?

Cheers
Graeme

Firstly,an abs light on is an Mot failure.There are no real simple checks that can be done yourself. A diagnostic test is really the only way forward to establish in what area the fault is located.On the plus side,these Mondeos are very robust and there is an abundance of s/h spares.If the car is otherwise in good condition and the price is sensible,then it is probably worth a punt.
