2010 Ford Mondeo 2.5L Petrol · CW10 CPF

The 2010 Ford Mondeo has a recent MOT history showing recurring corrosion, brake wear, and a critical engine diagnostic issue. The most recent entries on 2025-07-08 include both a pass and a fail for the same mileage, indicating inconsistent compliance. The fail highlights an inoperative Engine MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) , a safety-critical defect that prevents monitoring of engine faults. This issue was not previously recorded, suggesting a potential recent failure or oversight. Corrosion is a persistent theme, with repeated mentions of suspension arm , coil spring , and axle corrosion dating back to 2021. These components are structurally significant, and while the corrosion is described as "not seriously weakened," repeated exposure to moisture or road salt could accelerate degradation. Brake systems also show recurring issues: worn brake discs , thin brake pads , and tyre damage (cracking, perishing) have been noted since 2018. These suggest ongoing wear on braking and tyre components, which may require inspection for safety. The vehicle’s mileage of 164,527 miles (10,283 per year) aligns with typical usage for its age, but higher mileage increases the likelihood of wear on consumables and mechanical systems. However, the absence of major repairs or repeated failures in earlier MOTs (e.g., 2018) implies the vehicle may have been well-maintained until recently.
