2010 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · YK59 FLW

The 2010 Ford Mondeo's roadworthiness status is currently stable, as indicated by the most recent MOT test on 2025-05-31 at 180,928 miles. Although several minor issues were identified, including a corroded suspension component, worn coil spring, and tyre tread near the legal limit, none of these faults pose a significant threat to the vehicle's structural integrity or immediate safety. The trend appears relatively stable, with no major or critical faults reported in the recent tests. The recorded mileage of 180,928 miles over 16 years translates to approximately 11,308 miles per year, which is typical for a vehicle of its age. Reviewing the mileage progression: 138,948 miles in 2021, 140,871 miles in 2022, 146,979 miles in 2023, 167,551 miles in 2024, and 180,928 miles in 2025, shows a steady and expected accumulation without any notable gaps or rapid increases. A buyer should inspect the vehicle's suspension components, including the shock absorbers, Macpherson struts, and suspension arm pins or bushes, as these have been flagged in previous tests. Specifically, the offside front shock absorber and Macpherson strut, as well as the rear suspension arm pins or bushes, should be scrutinised for wear or corrosion. Additionally, the brake system, particularly the nearside front service brake, which was reported as binding in 2022, should be examined to ensure it is functioning properly. The tyres, windscreen, and registration plate lamps should also be checked, as these have been noted as worn or damaged in previous tests. The buyer should also verify the current condition of these components and assess whether any necessary repairs have been undertaken. A thorough inspection will provide a clearer understanding of the vehicle's current state and potential future maintenance needs.
