2010 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · KP60 MJY

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a clear trend of improving maintenance in recent months. The most recent test in October 2025 at 140,723 miles resulted in a pass with only a minor advisory regarding a deteriorated registration plate. This indicates that the mechanical and safety concerns from previous years have been addressed, as the car is currently meeting the minimum legal standards without recorded defects. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,800 miles per year. Between the November 2021 and October 2025, the car covered 62,659 miles, showing a steady usage profile. The interval of roughly 14,000 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests suggests the vehicle is still used regularly, which generally benefits the preservation of seals and prevents the type of corrosion often associated with long periods of standing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension geometry, as the 2022 test at 95,938 miles flagged worn upper rear suspension arm bushes on both sides. While these did not cause a failure at the time, they are prone to further degradation on Mondeos of this age. You should also verify the current state of the braking system, as the record previously noted thin nearside rear pads and worn front discs, indicating that these components may be nearing the end of their service life. The 2023 test at 111,842 miles highlighted both front tyres worn close to the legal limit and on the edges, which often points to alignment issues or worn shocks. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check of the chassis for structural rust is necessary, particularly around the rear wheel arches and sills, despite the MOT history not yet flagging structural failures.
