2010 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · EO60 ABN

The 2010 Ford Mondeo’s most recent MOT on 2023-01-05 at 153,068 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but the vehicle has shown inconsistent testing outcomes over the past four years. Two consecutive fails in 2022 and 2023 at similar mileages (145,878–153,068) without recorded defects suggest potential issues with testing accuracy or minor non-compliances that were resolved. The absence of structural, suspension, or brake-related failures in the latest test implies a stable maintenance trend, though the lack of recent inspections (over three years since the last test) raises concerns about ongoing compliance. The vehicle’s mileage of 153,068 miles aligns with an average of 9,567 annual miles for its 16-year age, indicating typical usage. However, a sharp 7,163-mile increase between the 2022-01-12 test (145,905 miles) and the 2023-01-05 test suggests possible rapid accumulation, which could accelerate wear on components like tyres, brakes, and suspension. The MOT history shows no recurring defects, but the frequency of fails without recorded issues may reflect procedural inconsistencies or unaddressed minor faults. A buyer should conduct a detailed inspection of the suspension system, including bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Brake components, particularly discs and calipers, warrant scrutiny for uneven wear or corrosion. Structural integrity should also be assessed, as rust or panel damage may not be flagged in MOT records. While the vehicle appears roadworthy based on available data, the absence of recent tests and the pattern of unexplained fails highlight the need for a professional mechanical check before purchase.
