2010 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · CV10 HFO

The 2010 Ford Mondeo presents a stable and positive maintenance trend, evidenced by a completely clean MOT record. The most recent test on 9 October 2025 at 96,988 miles passed without a single defect. A failed test recorded on 18 October 2024 at 80,174 miles also lists zero defects, strongly suggesting an administrative error or a minor rectification completed before the pass just three days later. This pattern indicates a vehicle that has met required standards consistently, with no recurring mechanical or structural faults demanding attention. The mileage pattern reveals a notable shift in usage that requires interpretation. Between February 2023 and October 2023, the Mondeo covered a mere 1,500 miles. The following twelve months saw a sharp escalation to over 20,000 miles, succeeded by another 16,800 miles in the year ending October 2025. Despite this recent high usage, the odometer reads exactly 96,988 miles today, showing zero recorded movement in the nine months since the last test. For a vehicle that was covering nearly 17,000 miles annually, this sudden standstill is unusual and warrants investigation into why the car has remained stationary. Given the absence of flagged faults in the official record, a buyer must focus on the implications of the recent high mileage and the current stationary state. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration, as high-mileage driving wears these components rapidly. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion, a common issue when a recently active vehicle sits unused. Examine the underbody and sills thoroughly for structural corrosion, which can develop independently of mileage. Assess the tyre condition closely for flat-spotting or sidewall perishing caused by prolonged standing.
