2010 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · FP10 AYZ

The 2010 Ford Mondeo presents a stable and highly reassuring maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass on 13 November 2023 at 159,841 miles. The tester flagged zero defects during this most recent assessment, indicating the vehicle met all required safety and emissions standards without any advisories. This unblemished record over the last three tests demonstrates consistent mechanical care and a lack of recurring faults. Covering roughly 9,990 miles per year, the mileage accumulation sits squarely within the typical range for a vehicle of this age. Between the October 2021 test at 145,035 miles and the November 2022 test at 153,278 miles, the Mondeo covered 8,243 miles, before adding a further 6,563 miles by the November 2023 test. The annual increments show a slight tapering of usage, though the vehicle remains in active service. The MOT record exhibits a minor data anomaly on 16 November 2022, where a failed test with no recorded defects appears alongside a clean pass for the same mileage. This likely reflects an aborted initial test or a same-day retest logging quirk rather than an actual mechanical failure. Despite the flawless MOT history, a physical inspection remains essential given the car's age and six-figure mileage. Buyers should closely examine the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these components endure significant fatigue over 160,000 miles. The brake discs and calipers require scrutiny for uneven wear or binding, while the underbody and arches must be checked for structural corrosion. Tyre condition and age also warrant attention, as rubber degrades independently of tread depth. The clean record implies diligent upkeep, but verifying the structural integrity and consumable condition in person is the only way to confirm the vehicle's current mechanical reality.
