2009 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · CU59 ORA

The 2009 Ford Mondeo presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 28 August 2025 at 95,846 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the available history. Annual mileage sits well below typical expectations for a 17-year-old vehicle. The record shows 89,698 miles in August 2022, rising to 91,063 by August 2023, 92,465 by August 2024, and 95,846 by August 2025. That equates to roughly 2,000 miles per year across the last three intervals, against a lifetime average near 5,600. Such low annual use suggests extended standing periods, which commonly accelerate perishing of rubber suspension bushes, tyre sidewalls, and brake caliper seizure even where the test bay finds nothing to fail. The DVSA entries carry no advisories and no recurring mechanical faults. A failed test on 16 August 2022 at 89,698 miles shows no defects recorded, indicating an administrative or process rejection rather than a mechanical defect. The buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity beneath sills and subframes, as corrosion can develop unseen between annual tests. Check brake discs for face rust from disuse and verify suspension bushes remain supple rather than cracked. Given the clean sheet and low yearly coverage, previous owners appear to have kept basic upkeep current without deferring consumables. The absence of flagged wear items across four passes implies the Mondeo was not driven hard or neglected on essentials, though standing time remains the chief risk to rubber and braking components.
