2012 Ford Mondeo 1.6L Diesel · DF12 AED

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 10 July 2024 at 169,975 miles, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. While the record shows a failed attempt on the same day as the pass, the absence of recorded defects suggests these were likely administrative errors or minor rectifications performed on-site rather than systemic mechanical failures. The history remains exceptionally clean, with no recurring advisories for suspension, braking, or structural components over the last three years of testing. This Ford Mondeo has accumulated 169,975 miles over fourteen years, averaging approximately 12,141 miles annually. The mileage progression remains consistent, showing steady usage rather than long periods of inactivity which often lead to seized calipers or perished rubber components. The jump from 152,460 miles in July 2022 to 169,975 miles by July 2024 confirms the vehicle is being utilised regularly for motorway or high-distance commuting. Prospective buyers should note that the lack of recorded advisories in the MOT history does not guarantee the condition of hidden consumables. At this mileage, you must physically inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, and track rod ends for signs of play or fatigue that may not have reached the threshold for an MOT failure. Check the brake discs for deep scoring or lip formation and verify the exhaust system for corrosion, as these items are frequently overlooked in basic testing. Given the high mileage, listen closely for any drivetrain vibration or clutch slip during a test drive to ensure the transmission remains fit for service.
