Ford Mondeo Mondeo Mk4 (2007–2014) MONDEO-MK4
The fourth-generation Mondeo (2007-2014) was sold in both the EU and Russian markets, with Ford Sollers assembling it via CKD at Vsevolozhsk during part of this generation's run, alongside the EU-built cars.
Its 2.0 Duratorq TDCi diesel is named in a real UK DVSA recall for cylinder-head overheating and cracking, so checking this exact car's recall status by VIN and inspecting the cylinder-head area is the relevant route; the later 2.0 EcoBoost petrol needs its own service-history check instead.
Assessing an individual example means confirming engine and market build from the documents and VIN before relying on either the recall check or a generic reliability claim for the other engine.

Pre-purchase checklist
- ☐Check whether the revised ECM calibration (the official remedy for this recall — improves overheat detection and adds an instrument-cluster warning plus an engine de-rate strategy) has already been installed on this specific car via its service history/recall status, and inspect the oil sump area for any sign of a prior overheating-related repair
- ☐Check this specific car's DVSA recall status by VIN — Mondeo Mk4/Mk5 shares the 2.0 Duratorq TDCi cylinder-head-crack recall (R/2018/008) and the Takata airbag recall (R/2020/013)
