2009 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · YE09 YDB

The 2009 Ford Mondeo presents as roadworthy following a pass on 6 May 2025 at 93,848 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, with four consecutive passes between July 2022 and May 2025 showing clean sheets. A minor anomaly appears in the 2 May 2025 failure at 93,764 miles, where the tester logged no defects yet refused the certificate; this suggests an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault-driven stop. Mileage sits at 93,848 against a 17-year lifespan, equating to roughly 5,520 miles per year. The car covered 6,662 miles between the July 2022 test (74,742) and July 2023 (81,331), then 5,073 to May 2024 (86,404), and 7,444 to the May 2025 pass. Low annual use implies lighter mechanical loading, though standing periods common to such profiles can let corrosion and perished rubber develop unseen. The record itself is sparse and clean, offering no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural integrity across the five years shown. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the sills, subframe, and suspension mounts given the vehicle's age and low-mileage dormancy pattern. The May 2025 failure with zero defects warrants a check of the DVSA refusal reason, as it may reveal a recalled item or documentation gap rather than wear. With no historical flags on binding calipers, coil springs, or exhaust emissions, the Mondeo's presented record implies conscientious if infrequent use, but pre-purchase scrutiny of tyre sidewall cracking and brake caliper freedom remains sound practice on a 2009 shell.
