2010 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · FL10 LUY

The 2010 Ford Mondeo presents a stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 23 February 2026 at 121,398 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a failed attempt on the same date with no defects listed, which suggests an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests in February 2025 at 116,960 miles and February 2024 at 112,601 miles also passed cleanly. The vehicle shows no worsening condition across the recorded history. Annual mileage sits at roughly 7,587 miles, typical for a 16-year-old car. The records jump from 106,644 miles on 15 August 2022 to 112,601 miles on 15 February 2024, a gap of over 17 months with no test logged. That interval implies either a lapsed test or limited use. From 2024 to 2026 the odometer rose just 8,797 miles, confirming light recent use. The clean MOT sheet flags no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or structural corrosion. A buyer should still inspect for age-related perishables the tester may not have noted: check front subframe and sills for rust, test rear brake calipers for binding after standing, and verify tyre sidewall condition. The same-day fail with no defects warrants confirmation the log book matches the DVSA entry. Given the sparse but clean record, previous owners appear to have maintained basic test compliance without neglect. The lack of recurring faults points to reasonable care, though the 2022 to 2024 gap means in-person checks on drivetrain seals and exhaust emissions remain sensible before purchase.
