2009 Ford Mondeo 1.8L Diesel · MK09 RGV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a history of clean passes over the last several years. The most recent inspection in December 2022 at 105,566 miles resulted with no defects recorded, indicating that the car met all minimum safety standards at that time. While a failure occurred in December 2021, the immediate pass on the same mileage reading suggests the owner addressed the identified faults promptly rather than allowing mechanical issues to persist. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,200 miles per year. Between December 2019 at 92,235 miles and December 2022 at 105,566 miles, the car covered 13,331 miles. This steady accumulation suggests regular use which is often beneficial for rubber seals and drivetrain components compared to vehicles that sit stationary. The lack of advisories in the three most recent tests indicates that the vehicle has not suffered from rapid degradation of its suspension components or brake system during this recent period. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the sills, as 17-year-old Fords are prone to corrosion that may not always surface until it becomes significant. Despite the clean MOT history, the low mileage might mask perished rubber perimeters or seized suspension bushings that should be checked for cracks. Since the last recorded test was over three years ago, a thorough inspection of the brake fluid condition and tyre age is essential to ensure that no hidden structural weaknesses have developed since the 2022 certification.
