2010 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Petrol · ET10 HVM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on August 12, 2025 at 76,011 miles. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory after a period of reactive repairs. While the car failed testing just one mile prior on the same day due to excessively worn nearside and offside rear suspension arm bushes and thin rear brake pads, these issues were addressed immediately to secure a pass. This indicates the current owner is willing to rectify critical safety failures once they are identified. At 16 years old, the recorded mileage of 76,011 miles represents a low average of approximately 4,750 miles per year. The data shows consistent annual usage, with roughly 6,700 miles covered between August 2024 and 2025, and approximately 6,800 miles between August 2023 and 2024. This low mileage profile often explains the premature wear of rubber-based components like suspension bushes, which degrade due to age and environmental exposure rather than high-mileage stress. A buyer should specifically inspect the rear suspension assembly, as the trailing arm bushes were flagged as a recurring issue across 2024 and 2025. Despite the recent pass, a physical check should ensure there is no remaining play in the mounting points. The history of a split nearside front drive shaft boot in 2023 also necessitates a visual inspection of the CV joints to ensure no grease leakage or internal damage has occurred. Given the previous reports of unevenly worn tyres in 2023, verifying the current alignment and tyre condition is advisable to ensure the vehicle is not scrubbing through rubber.
