2010 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · FG60 COU

The 2010 Ford Mondeo currently holds a valid roadworthiness pass from the 10 January 2025 test at 192,218 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable on paper, though the vehicle failed twice on administrative grounds without listed defects, first on 21 November 2023 at 159,305 miles and again on 7 January 2025 at 192,203 miles, passing days later each time. This pattern suggests paperwork or presentation issues at the test centre rather than unresolved mechanical faults. Mileage stands at 192,218 against a 16-year lifespan, averaging roughly 12,014 miles per year, which is high for the age. The record shows 133,235 miles on 29 November 2022, jumping to 159,306 by 27 November 2023 and then 192,218 by January 2025, equating to around 33,000 miles in the final thirteen months. Such accumulation implies sustained motorway or fleet-style use. The MOT history is sparse, with only five entries and no advisories or recorded wear, so the clean slate offers little insight into consumable or structural condition. A buyer should physically inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for fatigue given the high annual mileage and rapid recent use. The tester logged no corrosion or structural integrity concerns, but at this age and distance, subframe rust and worn trailing arm mounts are common on Mondeo platforms and warrant close examination. Verify the reason for the two zero-defect failures, as repeated test rejections without faults often point to missing documentation or identifier mismatches rather than owner neglect. Given the absent advisories across all entries, assume nothing about tyre tread depth or wiper condition and check these consumables directly before purchase.
