2010 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · WM10 XNO

The 2010 Ford Mondeo presents a stable roadworthiness trend with a clean pass at the most recent test on 2025-07-04 at 145,060 miles. The DVSA record shows no defects or advisories across the last four successful annual tests, indicating the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that clears the minimum legal threshold each year. The maintenance history reflects a consistent, non-worsening pattern with no recurring mechanical or structural faults logged. Annual mileage sits at roughly 9,066 miles per year against the 145,060 total, which is typical for a 16-year-old vehicle and implies steady rather than abusive use. The records show smooth progression: 122,496 miles in July 2022, 130,362 in July 2023, 137,413 in July 2024, and 145,060 in July 2025. A notable event occurred on 2022-07-13 when the car failed at 122,482 miles, only to pass the next day at 122,496 miles with no defects recorded. This suggests the failure was administrative or a minor rectifiable item cleared within 24 hours rather than a serious mechanical defect. Given the sparse and clean record, a buyer should still commission an independent inspection of consumable and age-related components not always captured by MOT pass criteria. At 145,060 miles and 16 years old, suspension bushes, coil springs, brake disc thickness, and underbody corrosion warrant physical checks. The Mondeo's age means rubber components and exhaust integrity degrade regardless of test outcomes. The 2022 same-week fail-and-pass with zero defects recorded offers little technical concern but confirms the owner acted promptly. No advisories on tyres, wipers, or emissions appear in the history, yet these remain consumables a buyer must verify visually. The vehicle's record supports a fair mechanical outlook, subject to a hands-on survey of structural integrity and drivetrain condition.
