2010 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · EK10 VFW

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT test on 29 September 2025 at 34,415 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent five-year trend of clean passes dating back to October 2021, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard or has experienced very little mechanical stress. The mileage is remarkably low for a 2010 model, averaging roughly 2,151 miles per year. The odometer readings show a steady, low-volume increase over the last five years, moving from 29,982 miles in October 2021 to 34,415 miles in September 2025. This pattern suggests the car has been used for short trips or kept as a secondary vehicle rather than suffering from long periods of total stagnation. Despite the clean MOT history, the low mileage and age of the vehicle introduce specific risks. Rubber components such as suspension bushes, engine mounts, and tyre sidewalls can perish due to age regardless of distance travelled. A buyer should check for perishing or cracking in these areas. Brake discs can also suffer from surface corrosion or pitting when a vehicle is under-utilised, so the pedal feel and disc surfaces require a physical check. The absence of any advisories regarding structural corrosion is positive for a Ford of this era. However, because the MOT only captures a snapshot of the vehicle's condition, a manual inspection of the underbody for rust is still advised. Focus should remain on fluid condition and battery health, as low-mileage cars often struggle with battery degradation and oil sludge if service intervals were based on mileage rather than time.
