2012 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · EK62 ABX

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 1 October 2025 at 61,847 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, maintaining a perfect record over several years. This stability suggests that the previous owners followed a proactive maintenance regime, addressing potential issues before they escalated into mechanical failures or de-test items. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,418 miles per year. Between September 2021 at 53,762 miles and the October 2025 test at 61,847 miles, the car covered only 8,085 miles. This low usage rate reduces mechanical wear on the engine, drivetrain, and braking system, though long periods of inactivity can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based components or internal corrosion in fluid systems that an MOT does not always detect. Despite the clean record, a buyer must perform a physical inspection focusing on components susceptible to age rather than mileage. Pay close attention to the suspension bushes and control arms for cracking or tearing, as these often perish regardless of low mileage. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, which is common on vehicles that sit stationary for extended periods. Additionally, inspect the tyres for signs of sidewall rot or dry cracking, as the rubber compound ages long before the tread depth reaches the legal limit.
