2009 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · FN09 GDU

The 2009 Ford Mondeo presents a broadly stable roadworthiness picture, with the most recent test on 20 October 2023 at 187,641 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows no worsening mechanical condition across the available history, though the record is sparse and lacks advisory notes that would normally reveal developing wear. Mileage accumulation is consistent with typical use for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 11,038 miles per year. The tester logged 171,443 miles on 15 October 2021, 180,776 miles on 14 October 2022, and 187,641 miles on 20 October 2023, giving annual increments of about 9,300 and 6,900 miles. No rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps appear. The duplicated fail and pass entries on 15 October 2021 and 14 October 2022 at identical mileages, with no defects cited, suggest administrative re-tests rather than genuine mechanical faults. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and subframe corrosion, as the MOT record carries no advisories to confirm these components remain within tolerance at 187,641 miles. The absence of flagged items does not certify structural integrity beyond the test date. Given the vehicle has now stood unused for over two years relative to today's date of 8 July 2026, fluid degradation, flat-spotted tyres, and seized calipers are plausible and warrant verification before road use.
