2010 Ford Mondeo Zetec Tdci 140 2.0L Heavy oil · NHZ 7308

The most recent MOT on 2022-09-25 showed the vehicle passed with no defects recorded. At 162,324 miles, this aligns with the vehicle’s age of 16 years, averaging roughly 10,145 miles annually—a typical figure for this model and age. No issues were noted in the last three MOTs (2022, 2019, 2018), suggesting a stable mechanical condition over the past four years. The MOT history shows no recurring defects or safety-critical failures. While the vehicle has accumulated high mileage, the absence of recorded issues indicates it has been well-maintained. However, the lack of detailed inspection records beyond the MOT results means there is no evidence of hidden or gradual deterioration. The mileage rate does not strongly suggest heavy use or prolonged under-use, as it falls within the expected range for a 16-year-old vehicle. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the brakes, particularly the front and rear pads and discs, as these components often show wear over high mileage. The suspension and steering systems should also be checked for bushing wear or corrosion, as these can degrade over time even if not flagged in MOT tests. Electrical systems and fluid levels should be verified, as older vehicles may develop intermittent issues.
