2009 Ford Mondeo Titanium X TDCI125 1.8L Diesel · EN09 AZP

The 2009 Ford Mondeo Titanium X TDCi125 has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects recorded at either of the two most recent tests—most notably in September 2023 at 100,761 miles and July 2022 at 85,015 miles. This suggests a stable roadworthiness trend over the past four years, with no recurring advisories or major failures. The absence of any failures or advisories in either test implies that the vehicle has not experienced critical issues with suspension bushes, coil springs, binding calipers, brake discs, or structural corrosion during these periods. However, the lack of advisories also means there is no documented evidence of proactive maintenance beyond the minimum MOT requirements, leaving some wear-and-tear items unconfirmed. The recorded mileage of 100,761 miles at the time of the most recent MOT in September 2023 indicates an average of approximately 5,927 miles per year over the vehicle’s lifespan—well below the typical annual mileage for a car of this age. This low usage could imply either infrequent driving or prolonged periods of storage, both of which may have mitigated some wear on high-mileage components. Notably, there is a significant gap of nearly 18 months between the July 2022 and September 2023 tests, which is within the standard MOT validity period but raises questions about whether the vehicle was driven regularly during this time. Without additional service records, it is impossible to determine whether critical fluids (e.g., brake fluid, power steering fluid, or differential oil) were changed during this period, which could impact long-term reliability. Given the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear suspension bushes and coil springs, as these are common failure points in vehicles of this age and mileage. The absence of advisories does not preclude wear—check for uneven tyre wear, which could indicate misaligned wheels or worn suspension parts. Brake discs and pads should be examined closely, especially if the vehicle has been stored for extended periods, as moisture can accelerate corrosion. Additionally, inspect the underbody for signs of corrosion around the sills, subframe, and exhaust system, as this is a critical failure risk for pre-2015 models. The lack of documented advisories means there is no prior warning of potential issues, so thorough visual and functional checks are essential.
