2010 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · YB10 VMM

The 2010 Ford Mondeo exhibits a stable roadworthiness profile based on its most recent MOT, recorded on 2025-11-12 at 106,124 miles, which resulted in a pass with no defects. However, the same date shows a failed test with no defects recorded, creating ambiguity in the data. Previous tests from 2024-11-08 (95,107 miles) and 2023-11-10 (79,132 miles) were both passed with no issues, suggesting consistent maintenance. The absence of structural, braking, or emission failures in recent tests implies the vehicle has been well-maintained, though the 2025 failure without explanation raises questions about administrative accuracy. The vehicle’s mileage of 106,124 miles over 16 years equates to an average of 6,633 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for its age. The MOT records show annual testing, with mileage increments of 16,000 between 2023 and 2024, and 11,000 between 2024 and 2025. These figures suggest regular use without prolonged inactivity, reducing risks of corrosion or component degradation from standing. The lack of defects in most tests indicates no significant mechanical or structural issues, though the 2023-11-08 failure at 79,132 miles—also with no defects—further complicates the trend. A buyer should verify the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, which are prone to wear in older vehicles. The brake system, including discs and calipers, should be inspected for uneven wear or binding, as these components often degrade over time. Additionally, the exhaust system and emission controls warrant scrutiny, given the 2025 failure. While MOT records show no immediate risks, the vehicle’s age and mileage necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the absence of hidden issues not flagged in the tests.
