2009 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · EO59 KCF

The 2009 Ford Mondeo presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 22 May 2025 at 85,653 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior to that, the August 2024 and August 2023 tests each produced a pass on the second attempt within a day of an initial failure that recorded no defects, indicating administrative re-tests rather than mechanical rectification. The vehicle shows no recurring advisories or faults across the available record. Recorded mileage stands at 85,653 against an August 2009 registration, averaging roughly 5,038 miles per year. The Mondeo covered only 5,320 miles between the August 2023 test at 78,972 miles and the August 2024 test at 84,294 miles, then just 1,359 miles to the May 2025 test. Such low annual use over 17 years suggests extended standing periods, which typically accelerates perished rubber components, flat-spotted tyres, and corrosion on brake discs and underbody structures despite the clean MOT slate. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe mounting points for age-related degradation the annual test did not flag. The same applies to brake calipers and discs, where intermittent use promotes surface rust and binding that a pass with no defects will not capture. Given the sparse and clean history, previous owners appear to have maintained basic test compliance, though the zero-advisory pattern across five years warrants scrutiny for omitted wear items rather than proof of condition. Pre-purchase examination of exhaust emissions hardware and structural integrity remains prudent on a low-mileage 17-year-old vehicle.
