2010 Ford Mondeo 1.8L Diesel · AG10 XGD

The 2010 Ford Mondeo presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 20 February 2025 at 186,925 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken four-year sequence of clear MOT outcomes. The maintenance trend shows no worsening faults, recurring advisories, or structural concerns across the available history. Annual mileage sits at roughly 11,683 per year against a 16-year lifespan, a typical use rate for this model. The records show steady accumulation: 157,653 miles in March 2022, 167,853 in March 2023, 177,951 in March 2024, and 186,925 in February 2025. No gaps or sudden jumps appear. The DVSA data is sparse on faults but consistently clean, which suggests the vehicle received basic statutory upkeep even if no deeper inspection detail is captured. A buyer should still commission an independent physical inspection despite the spotless MOT run. Four passes with zero advisories on a 186,000-mile Mondeo likely means the tester logged only mandatory failures, not wear margins. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc thickness warrant hands-on checks for fatigue not yet breaching test limits. Structural corrosion around sills and subframes should be examined closely given the age and mileage. The absence of recorded exhaust or emissions issues implies the drivetrain remains serviceable, but high-mileage diesel components such as the turbo and DPF are outside MOT scope and need verification.
