2010 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · BT10 AGO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status despite a history of immediate re-test failures. The most recent inspection in September 2024 at 106,900 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure on the exact same day. This suggests the owner is proactive in rectifying identified issues immediately to maintain a valid certificate. Since the 2024 pass, the vehicle has maintained a clean record, indicating the current mechanical state is sound and consistent. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year. Between September 2022 and September 2023, the car covered 3,350 miles, while the interval between 2023 and 2024 saw 5,623 miles. This low-to-average usage typically reduces the wear on the drivetrain and engine but can sometimes mask the degradation of rubber-based suspension components. The lack of significant mileage gaps suggests the vehicle has been used regularly rather than left stationary for long periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific areas that caused the failures in 2022 and 2024, although the record does not detail the specific mechanical faults. Given the age of the Mondeo, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the sills and rear subframe is essential as these are common failure points for this model. Inspect the suspension bushes for perished rubber and check the condition of the brake calipers to ensure that the low mileage has not led to seized components or perished seals.
