2009 Ford Mondeo 1.8L Diesel · J20 WRT

The 2009 Ford Mondeo presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 19 January 2026 at 113,853 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual passes show no advisories or faults. The vehicle holds a clean MOT profile across the last five years. Annual mileage sits at roughly 6,700 miles, typical for a 17-year-old car. The records show steady accumulation: 92,889 miles in January 2023, 100,123 in January 2024, 106,815 in January 2025, and 113,853 by January 2026. The only anomaly is a failed test on 24 January 2025 at 106,815 miles with no defects listed, corrected by a pass three days later on 27 January 2025 at the same mileage. This suggests an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. The absence of advisories across all five tests means no recurring wear on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion has been formally flagged. A clean record of this length implies the previous keeper kept basic upkeep current. Buyers should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody for hidden rust, given the car's age, and verify the brake and suspension condition in person despite no tester warnings. No evidence exists of worsening mechanical risk in the official data. The Mondeo's history supports a low-risk purchase for its age, provided an independent pre-sale check confirms the unseen components.
