2010 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · CV60 DXC

The 2010 Ford Mondeo shows a passed MOT as of 17 July 2023 at 168,314 miles, leaving the vehicle roughly three years untested relative to today's date of 8 July 2026. The maintenance trend reads as stable on paper, with no defects, advisories, or mechanical faults logged across any test. The record does, however, show an administrative quirk: on both 17 July 2023 and 12 July 2021 the car failed and passed on the same day at identical mileages with no defects recorded, indicating clerical or presentation errors at the testing station rather than genuine roadworthiness concerns. Annual mileage sits at a typical 10,520 per year for a sixteen-year-old car. The odometer moved from 153,126 miles in July 2021 to 160,419 in July 2022, then to 168,314 by July 2023, a steady 7,000 to 8,300 miles annually. No rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps appear in the data. The clean sheet across four tests suggests the previous owner kept basic consumables and emissions within limits, though the sparse record gives little insight into deeper structural care. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection before purchase. Sixteen years of age and 168,314 miles leave suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe mounting points exposed to fatigue and corrosion even where the MOT logged nothing. Brake discs, calipers, and handbrake mechanism warrant hands-on checks for binding or uneven wear from prolonged standing since the last test. Given the three-year lapse since the most recent MOT, treat the current roadworthiness as unverified. Structural integrity, exhaust condition, and underbody rust should be assessed on a ramp, as DVSA data alone cannot confirm the car's present state.
