FORD MONDEO2010 · 2.3L Diesel

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-12-12 at 131,531 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the past three years. Previous tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed without issues, though a failed test on 2024-12-11 at the same mileage recorded no defects, suggesting a potential administrative error or minor non-critical failure. No recurring mechanical or structural concerns are evident from the record, and the absence of advisories or failures in the last three tests implies consistent upkeep. The vehicle’s mileage of 131,531 miles aligns with an average of 8,221 miles annually over its 16-year lifespan, reflecting typical usage for its age. The MOT history shows regular testing intervals, with consistent mileage increments between 2022 (95,232 miles) and 2025 (131,531 miles). No significant gaps or rapid mileage surges are noted, which reduces immediate risk of excessive wear on consumables or drivetrain components. The 2024 test’s failure without recorded defects remains unexplained but does not indicate a pattern of recurring issues. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. While no brake-related defects are documented, the absence of detailed records on brake discs or calipers warrants inspection for wear or corrosion. Structural integrity should also be assessed, as rust or fatigue in body panels is common at this age. The lack of recorded advisories does not eliminate risks, so a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic is advised to confirm the vehicle’s roadworthiness.
