2010 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · SD10 AAF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear improving trend in maintenance standards. The most recent test on 26 March 2026 at 137,124 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows two consecutive clean passes in November 2024 and November 2023, suggesting that previous mechanical or electrical issues have been effectively addressed and the vehicle is currently being maintained to a high standard. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,570 miles per year. The record shows steady usage without significant periods of stagnation or excessive high-speed motorway running. Between the October 2023 and November 2024 tests, the vehicle covered 8,129 miles, and the most recent interval between November 2024 and March 2026 shows a further 4,512 miles. This predictable usage pattern reduces the likelihood of age-related degradation caused by long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and tyre condition. The October 2022 test flagged pitted and scored front brake discs alongside a perishing nearside rear tyre, while the October 2020 failure involved a structural tyre failure with exposed cords and a lump. Although these issues appear resolved in the recent clean passes, the history of tyre and brake component wear suggests these consumables require regular monitoring. Checking for uneven tyre wear or any signs of binding calipers would be a prudent step. The electrical history also shows past instability, specifically regarding position lamps, indicators, and the central stop lamp during the October 2022 failure. While the 2026 record is clear, a thorough check of all exterior lighting and bulb functionality is recommended to ensure no intermittent wiring faults persist. Given the age of the vehicle, inspecting the suspension bushes and any signs of chassis corrosion would also be advisable to complement the MOT data.
