2010 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · WA03 ACE

This vehicle demonstrates an exceptionally stable maintenance trend and remains roadworthy according to the most recent MOT. The test on 2 August 2025 at 135,398 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of five consecutive years of clean passes, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard. The mileage accumulation is steady and typical for a 16 year old car. Between the August 2021 test at 108,646 miles and the August 2025 test at 135,398 miles, the vehicle covered 26,752 miles. This averages roughly 6,688 miles per year over the last four years, showing regular use without any erratic spikes or long periods of stagnation that often lead to perished seals or seized calipers. The absence of any advisories regarding suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake disc corrosion over a five year period is unusual for a Mondeo of this age. While the DVSA record is flawless, a buyer should still manually check for structural corrosion on the sills and rear subframe, as some surface rust does not always trigger an MOT failure. Given the high mileage of 135,398, a physical inspection should focus on the drivetrain and consumables. Check the condition of the clutch and the smoothness of gear transitions. Verify the service history for timing belt and water pump replacements, as these are critical maintenance items that the MOT test does not evaluate.
