2009 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Petrol · UR55 ALF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, though the maintenance history indicates a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test in March 2022 at 119,231 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, suggesting the vehicle met minimum legal standards at that time. However, the history of failures immediately preceding the 2021 and 2022 passes suggests the owner only addressed issues when necessary for legal compliance rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is consistent with a low-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. Between March 2021 at 106,377 miles and March 2022 at 119,231 miles, the car covered 12,854 miles in a single year, which represents a significant spike compared to its historical average. There is a notable gap in data since the March 2022 test, leaving the current condition of components such as rubber bushings, brake linings, and structural integrity unknown for the final four years of operation. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and suspension components, as the age of the vehicle often leads to accelerated corrosion and perished rubber components. Given the previous failures recorded in 2021, check for signs of binding calipers, worn shock absorbers, or exhaust leaks that may have triggered those retests. The lack of MOT data for the last four years increases the risk that the vehicle has sat stationary, potentially leading to fluid degradation, seized brakes, or internal corrosion that would not be captured in a digital record alone.
