2009 Ford Mondeo 1.8L Diesel · FJ59 UWM

The most recent MOT entry for this 2009 Ford Mondeo dates to 18 December 2021 at 132,110 miles, where the vehicle passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend cannot be firmly classified as stable, worsening, or improving because the only other entry on the same date shows a failure with no defects listed, an administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. With nearly five years elapsed since that test, the vehicle is currently untested and its present roadworthiness is unverified by DVSA data. The recorded mileage of 132,110 at the December 2021 test equates to roughly 7,771 miles per year against the vehicle's 17-year age, a typical usage rate for a Mondeo of this era. The history shows no intermediate tests between 2021 and the current date of 8 July 2026, leaving a significant gap with no odometer evidence. The duplicated 18 December 2021 entries at identical mileage suggest a re-test or clerical correction rather than genuine driving between tests. A buyer must commission a fresh MOT and physical inspection before purchase. The absence of advisories in the passing test does not preclude age-related degradation across suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and subframe corrosion over the intervening unused period. Standing for close to five years risks seized calipers, flat-spotted tyres, and perished rubber components. Given the clean 2021 record, prior upkeep appears adequate at that time, but the long dormancy overrides any assumption of continued condition. Verify structural integrity, exhaust emissions, and fluid contamination on sight, as the MOT ledger offers no cover for defects developed since the last recorded examination.
