2010 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · FG60 BEJ

The 2010 Ford Mondeo presents a stable maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass recorded on 20 March 2026 at 103,025 miles. Anomalously, the preceding test on 20 February 2026 at 102,802 miles shows a failure status despite no defects being recorded, suggesting an administrative issue or an aborted inspection rather than a mechanical fault. Since February 2023, the vehicle has passed three consecutive MOTs without a single advisory or defect, indicating consistent baseline roadworthiness and diligent upkeep by the current keeper. Accumulating 103,025 miles over sixteen years equates to roughly 6,439 miles annually, a typical usage profile for a vehicle of this age. The mileage progression reveals steady, incremental gains rather than prolonged periods of inactivity or sudden high-mileage bursts. Between the February 2025 test at 96,088 miles and the February 2026 test at 102,802 miles, the car covered 6,714 miles, aligning perfectly with the annual average. This consistent accumulation implies regular use without the severe wear associated with high-mileage commuting or the moisture-related corrosion risks of prolonged standing. Although the MOT record is entirely free of advisories, a physical inspection remains prudent given the vehicle's age. A buyer should scrutinize the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as sixteen years of use often degrades rubber components regardless of mileage. The brake discs and calipers require close examination for corrosion and binding, common issues on vehicles covering modest annual distances where components may not self-clean through regular heat cycling. Furthermore, inspect the exhaust system for corrosion and check the structural integrity of the underbody, ensuring the clean MOT history reflects a genuinely sound chassis rather than a vehicle that has simply avoided rigorous testing.
