2012 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · AK62 ADO

The vehicle presents as mechanically stable based on its MOT history, with the most recent test on 10 March 2025 at 194,072 miles resulting in a clean pass. The record shows a consistent trend of passing without any recorded defects or advisories for five consecutive years. This suggests a high standard of preventative maintenance that has kept the car roadworthy despite its age. The mileage is high for a 2012 model, averaging roughly 13,862 miles per year. The accumulation has remained steady over the last five years, increasing from 159,997 miles in January 2021 to 194,072 miles by March 2025. The gap between the March 2023 test at 179,619 miles and the March 2024 test at 189,591 miles shows a typical annual usage pattern of approximately 10,000 miles. While the MOT record is exceptionally clean, the high mileage necessitates a physical inspection of components that do not always trigger an MOT failure until they are critical. A buyer should check for wear in the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these typically degrade under high-mileage stress. The condition of the brake discs and pads should be verified to ensure they are not nearing the end of their service life. Attention should also be paid to the structural integrity of the chassis and sills. Although no corrosion was flagged in the tests, Ford Mondeos of this era are prone to rust in hidden areas. Checking the engine oil and transmission fluid condition is advisable to confirm that the drivetrain has been serviced frequently enough to support nearly 200,000 miles of use.
