Our Verdict
Exercise significant caution before purc
Prioritise a thorough underside inspection. The March 2026 MOT record lists corrosion on the front sub-frame, rear sub-frame, and rear suspension component mountings. You must verify if these areas have been treated or if the corrosion is progressing, as structural integrity is paramount.
Negotiate based on the documented history of component wear. The vehicle has shown recurring issues with trailing arm bushes and suspension arms. Ensure that the work carried out to pass the 2026 MOT included addressing the missing exhaust shield and the worn tyres noted in the failure report, and ask for receipts to confirm these repairs were completed.
As a 2.0L diesel, running costs will be influenced by fuel efficiency and tax bands typical for a 2010 Mondeo. Maintenance costs may be higher than average due to the documented frequency of suspension and corrosion-related repairs.
Expect typical diesel maintenance requirements, including timing belt intervals and fuel filter changes. Given the recent MOT failures related to brakes (binding) and tyres, budget for more frequent consumable replacements. Estimated annual running costs are roughly £1,200-£1,500 depending on annual mileage and insurance group.
A physical inspection of the chassis is essential. Specifically, check the inner and outer sills and the mounting areas for the nearside and offside rear suspension, as these were flagged for corrosion in the 2026 MOT. Examine the front and rear sub-frames to ensure the reported corrosion is not deep-seated or structural.
Check the condition of all suspension bushings and arms. The history shows multiple advisories and failures regarding trailing arm bushes and suspension arm pins. Additionally, verify that the windscreen wipers operate effectively and that the exhaust shielding is fully intact to prevent the fire risk mentioned in the 2026 failure record.
This 2010 Ford Mondeo 2.0L diesel has covered 119,561 miles, which is considerably higher than the model average of 7,971 miles per year. While it passed its most recent MOT in March 2026, the record shows a pattern of structural corrosion and suspension wear. The vehicle has experienced multiple failures in recent years, most notably regarding the sub-frame and mounting areas.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 78.1% MOT pass rate, with common failures related to tyres, brakes, and wipers.
