2009 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · NA09 UGT

The vehicle shows an improving maintenance trend, moving from a period of significant component wear to a clean pass in its most recent inspection. The August 2025 test at 112,854 miles initially failed due to incorrect colour on the nearside front and both rear direction indicators, but these lighting issues were rectified to secure a clean pass. This follows a relatively stable 2024 result at 105,229 miles where no defects were recorded. The mileage pattern is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per year. The records show steady, incremental usage from 39,678 miles in March 2014 to the current 112,854 miles. There are no significant gaps in testing or periods of long-term inactivity, suggesting regular use which helps prevent seals from drying out, though the history does show intermittent oil leaks. A prospective buyer should focus on the suspension and braking systems. The record shows a recurring pattern of wear in the trailing arm bushes and suspension pins, specifically flagged in 2018 and again in May 2022. While the 2023 test at 97,838 miles noted a corroded offside rear coil spring and worn front brake discs, the absence of these advisories in the 2024 and 2025 tests suggests these components have likely been replaced. The history also indicates a tendency for the owner to run consumables close to their limits, evidenced by tyre tread advisories in 2015 and a tyre cut failure in 2022. Minor oil leaks were noted in 2020 and 2022, so a thorough inspection of the engine bay and underbody for active leaks or significant oil staining is necessary. Checking the handbrake adjustment and the condition of the brake discs and pads would also be prudent to ensure the recent improvements are maintained.
