2010 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · AJ10 ADU

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend across its recent history. The most recent test on 27 March 2025 at 136,610 miles passed with no recorded defects, following a failure just three days prior at a virtually identical mileage. This suggests a minor administrative or presentation-related clearance issue that was immediately rectified, rather than a systemic mechanical failure. Since 2023, the car has consistently achieved clean passes without advisories for worsening corrosion or component wear. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year. Between March 2023 at 90,357 miles and March 2024 at 111,688 miles, the vehicle covered over 21,000 miles, indicating a period of higher-than-average use. However, the subsequent interval of 25,000 miles between March 2024 and March 2025 shows continued use, suggesting the car has been regularly driven which often helps prevent internal engine components and seals from drying. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and underbody components, as the vehicle is now 16 years old. While the MOT record shows no current faults, the age of the Mondeo means that rubber bushes and coil springs may be prone to cracking or degradation regardless of the mileage. Inspect the brake lines for signs of corrosion and check the exhaust siring for structural rust, as the clean MOT history indicates the previous owners have not yet reached a failure point requiring significant deferred structural maintenance.
