2010 Ford Mondeo 2.2L Diesel · PL10 AAZ

The Ford Mondeo last secured a clean MOT pass on 27 August 2021 at 153,419 miles, with the tester recording no defects or advisories. Relative to today's date of 20 July 2026, this leaves the vehicle's current roadworthiness unconfirmed for nearly five years. Across the supplied history the maintenance trend reads as stable; no suspension, braking, or structural faults appear in any entry. Two failed tests in 2019 and 2021 show no defects logged, indicating procedural rather than mechanical rejection. Mileage progression aligns with typical use for a 2010 vehicle. The record opens with a pass at 119,461 miles on 6 August 2019. Twelve months later, on 17 August 2020, the car passed at 135,362 miles, an annual gain of 15,901. By 20 August 2021 it failed at 152,991 miles, adding 17,629 over the year, then passed a week later at 153,419. This consistent 15,000 to 18,000 mile yearly accumulation suggests regular commuting rather than neglect. The sparse five-entry ledger omits any pre-2019 tests, so early-life care remains unknown. A buyer must treat the clean MOT sheet with caution given the age and distance travelled. The Mondeo's suspension bushes, coil springs, and anti-roll bar links will likely exhibit fatigue even if not flagged. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for scoring or binding after prolonged inactivity since 2021. Exhaust emissions and catalytic converter condition warrant a cold-start test. Structural integrity demands scrutiny. Ford Mondeos of this era suffer corrosion at rear arches and subframe mounts; the tester noted none, but visual inspection underneath is essential. The repeated fail-with-no-defect entries imply the previous owner presented the car for retest without addressing paperwork, not mechanical upkeep. Verify V5C and MOT certificates before purchase.
