Parts for your 2017 Ford Mondeo-Pedal pads

2017 Ford Mondeo pedal pads — fitted, functional, and worth keeping fresh

Yes, the 2017 Ford Mondeo uses pedal pads. Ford’s Electronic Parts Catalogue (EPC/Microcat) for the CD391 Mondeo lists a dedicated brake pedal pad, and on manual models a clutch pedal pad as well. The Ford Workshop Manual (Brake System — Section 206-06 and Clutch Controls) shows the pedal pad as a serviceable component, and both NZTA WoF and Australian roadworthy guidelines call out pedal rubber condition as a safety item. So it’s absolutely a relevant part on this model.

On this Mondeo, the pedal pads are the grippy rubber covers fitted to the metal pedal plates. Their job is simple but critical: give the driver consistent traction underfoot, wet or dry, so the foot doesn’t slip under braking or clutch operation. Automatic models have a brake pedal pad, manual models have both brake and clutch pedal pads. The accelerator is typically a moulded plastic face and isn’t a removable “pad”.

Because they’re rubber, pedal pads wear gradually. Edges round off, the surface goes smooth and shiny, and small cracks can appear. If the pad starts to shift on the pedal or metal shows through, it’s past it. Ford’s workshop guidance treats the pad as a quick-service item, and roadworthiness checks in AU/NZ expect it to be secure and not excessively worn.

Recommended care is straightforward: give the pads a rinse with mild soap and water during regular washes, especially after beach trips or muddy tracks. Avoid silicone dressings or greasy cleaners that leave the surface slippery. During servicing (every 10,000–15,000 kilometres, or per the service schedule), a quick visual and feel check is smart. Replace at the first signs of slickness or cracking.

• Signs it’s time to replace: smooth/shiny surface, cracking, chunking, pad slipping or loose fit, metal pedal plate visible.
• Replacement tips: lever off the old rubber, clean the pedal plate, then work the new pad on evenly so the lip seats all the way around. A tiny mist of water can help, avoid oils.
• Parts choice: stick with genuine or quality aftermarket pads listed for the 2017 Mondeo (right-hand-drive fitment). Avoid universal slip-on covers that can foul the pedal.

It’s a five-minute DIY job and inexpensive — a tidy win for comfort, control and keeping the car shipshape for WoF/roadworthy inspections.

FAQs — 2017 Ford Mondeo pedal pads

Does the accelerator pedal have a removable pad?
On most 2017 Mondeos the accelerator uses an integrated plastic face, not a separate rubber pad. The serviceable pads are on the brake (and clutch on manuals). That’s why parts catalogues list brake/clutch pedal pads only.

Are worn pedal pads a WoF/roadworthy issue?
Yes. NZTA WoF and Australian roadworthy checks expect pedal rubbers to be secure and not excessively worn. If the pad is smooth, cracked, or loose, it can be failed and should be replaced before inspection.

Can owners replace the pads themselves?
Generally, yes. With the right pad for the Mondeo, it’s a quick fit: remove the old rubber, clean the plate, and stretch on the new one. If the pad won’t seat fully around the lip, stop and recheck fitment — a poorly seated pad can slip in use.
