2012 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · EK62 ABN

The 2012 Ford Mondeo presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its most recent MOT on 2025-12-24 at 102,736 miles, which was passed with no defects. However, the preceding test on 2025-12-22 at 102,720 miles recorded a failure despite no defects being listed, suggesting a potential administrative or procedural error, or a minor issue resolved between tests. Subsequent MOTs from 2022 to 2023 show consistent passes with no defects, indicating a generally well-maintained vehicle. The pattern shows no worsening trends, though the recent failure warrants scrutiny to confirm whether it reflected a genuine mechanical concern or an anomaly. The vehicle’s mileage of 102,736 miles over 14 years equates to approximately 7,338 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for its age. The MOT history shows regular testing, with the most recent entries covering the final 10,000 miles. A gap between the 2023-12-29 test (94,543 miles) and 2025-01-06 test (98,937 miles) suggests a 14-month interval, which is acceptable but may indicate periods of reduced use. No rapid mileage spikes are evident, and the absence of recurring defects in earlier tests implies no systemic mechanical issues. A buyer should verify the condition of the braking system, as the recent failure could hint at unresolved issues despite no defects being recorded. Inspect suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, for wear, and check the exhaust system for leaks or corrosion. Structural integrity remains unaddressed in the records, so a thorough underbody inspection is advisable. The lack of recorded defects in prior tests supports the vehicle’s reliability, but the recent failure necessitates a pre-purchase check to confirm the absence of hidden faults.
