2009 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · AF09 OFA

The 2009 Ford Mondeo presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 4 March 2026 at 165,082 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from April 2023 to April 2025 also passed clean. The vehicle shows no worsening faults, advisories, or recurring mechanical concerns across the available record. Mileage sits at 165,082 against an approximate 17-year lifespan, equating to roughly 9,700 miles per year and reflecting typical use for a Mondeo of this age. The record shows 133,540 miles on 3 April 2023, rising to 136,508 by 3 April 2024, then 152,031 on 12 April 2025 and 165,082 by March 2026. Annual accumulation stayed moderate with no abrupt jumps. The DVSA data is sparse, listing only passes plus a same-day fail on 3 April 2023 with no defects cited, which suggests an administrative reversal rather than a mechanical fault. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers given the car's age and mileage. The clean MOT history offers no flagged corrosion or structural integrity issues, but test passes do not measure hidden rust or worn components outside the test scope. Verify the bodywork, subframes and exhaust system for corrosion during a viewing. Confirm the 3 April 2023 failure entry was a clerical duplicate, as no defects appear against it. Previous keepers maintained the car to a passable standard, though the absence of advisories at this mileage implies consumables were addressed only when mandatory.
