2009 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · SA59 LBE

The 2009 Ford Mondeo presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT on 2025-11-19 at 70,023 miles recording no defects. All tests from 2022 to 2025 show consistent passing results, including the 2023-11-20 test at 61,992 miles. The sole anomaly was a failed 2023-11-04 test at 61,833 miles, though no defects were recorded, suggesting a potential administrative error or minor procedural issue. No recurring mechanical faults or structural concerns are evident in the documented history, indicating the vehicle has been maintained to a standard meeting legal requirements. The vehicle’s mileage of 70,023 miles over 17 years equates to an average of 4,119 miles annually, significantly below the UK’s typical usage for its age. This low mileage suggests infrequent use or periods of inactivity, which can lead to dry joints in suspension components like bushes and coil springs. The MOT intervals are regular, with no abrupt spikes in mileage that might indicate heavy wear on consumables such as tyres or brake discs. The absence of advisories or defects in recent tests implies the previous owner prioritized basic maintenance, though the low usage pattern warrants closer inspection of aged rubber and metal parts. A buyer should physically examine the suspension system for hardened bushes or corroded mounts, as prolonged inactivity can accelerate wear. The brake system, particularly rear calipers and discs, should be checked for binding or uneven wear, as these issues may not trigger MOT failures. Structural integrity is not flagged in the record, but the 2009 model’s age necessitates a thorough corrosion check, especially around wheel arches and underbody panels. While the MOT history reflects compliance, the vehicle’s low-mileage profile demands a detailed pre-purchase inspection to confirm components remain functional despite extended periods of limited use.
