2009 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · WP09 SWF

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on February 12, 2026, at 183,478 miles, indicating a stable and clean roadworthiness status. The record shows a remarkably consistent history of passes over the last four years, with no recorded advisories or failures related to mechanical defects. This suggests that the vehicle has been subjected to a diligent maintenance regime, as the absence of recurring component failures points toward proactive owner intervention rather than reactive, last-minute repairs. The total recorded mileage of 183,478 over seventeen years averages approximately 10,793 miles per annum, which aligns with standard usage expectations for a Ford Mondeo of this vintage. Annual mileage accumulation has remained steady, with the car covering roughly 4,000 to 6,000 miles between each yearly inspection. This steady usage pattern is preferable to long-term storage, as it keeps engine seals, drivetrain components, and suspension bushings lubricated and functional, reducing the risk of the premature degradation often seen in low-mileage vehicles that sit idle for extended periods. Despite the clean MOT history, the age and high mileage of this platform necessitate a thorough physical inspection of high-wear areas that the MOT test may not fully capture. Focus your examination on the structural integrity of the rear subframe and chassis rails, as surface corrosion can often be masked by underseal on vehicles of this age. Check the condition of the suspension dampers and coil springs for signs of fatigue, and verify the operational smoothness of the clutch and dual-mass flywheel, as these are common failure points for this specific model. While the MOT data confirms the car has passed its safety checks, a tactile assessment of the steering rack for play and the cooling system for signs of pressure loss remains essential before purchase.
