2009 Ford Mondeo 1.8L Diesel · FG59 CWM

The 2009 Ford Mondeo presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its most recent MOT on 2025-05-28 at 78,086 miles, which recorded a pass with no defects. The prior test on 2024-05-27 at 52,513 miles also passed, though a duplicate entry for the same date and mileage shows a failed result with no defects noted. This inconsistency may reflect administrative error, but the absence of recorded faults in subsequent tests suggests the vehicle has maintained compliance. No recurring mechanical issues or structural concerns were flagged in the history, indicating the previous owner prioritized basic maintenance. The vehicle’s mileage of 78,086 miles over 17 years equates to approximately 4,593 miles annually, a low figure that may indicate infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity. Notable gaps in testing, such as the 12-month interval between the 2022-09-28 test at 49,118 miles and the 2023-09-19 test at 51,815 miles, suggest potential storage or limited operation. The sudden jump to 52,513 miles in 2024 raises questions about whether the vehicle was driven regularly or if the odometer was tampered with, though no such anomalies are documented in the MOT records. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, which can degrade during periods of inactivity. The absence of brake-related defects in the history is reassuring, but visual inspection of brake discs and calipers for corrosion or binding is recommended. Structural integrity should also be assessed, as low mileage does not preclude rust in vulnerable areas like the underbody or wheel arches. The MOT record lacks detail on consumables, so tyre tread depth and wiper blade condition at the time of purchase should be confirmed.
