2012 Ford Mondeo Zetec Business EDN Tdci 2.0L Diesel · JFZ 4594

The 2012 Ford Mondeo Zetec Business Edition TDCI presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed the most recent MOT on 16 May 2025 at 263,135 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the available history reads as stable, with every annual test from April 2022 through May 2025 resulting in a pass apart from a single failure on 7 May 2025 at 263,120 miles that was subsequently cleared within nine days with no defects listed. This suggests the failure was administrative or a trivial fault corrected before full re-inspection rather than a serious mechanical defect. The recorded mileage stands high for a fourteen-year-old vehicle. The odometer climbed from 194,719 miles at the 18 April 2022 test to 217,226 miles by 10 May 2023, then 233,419 miles on 26 April 2024, and 263,135 miles by May 2025. That equates to an average of roughly 18,800 miles per year, with the final twelve-month period showing nearly 30,000 miles added. Such accumulation implies sustained motorway or fleet-type use and places above-average strain on drivetrain components, suspension bushes, and brake wear items. The DVSA record shows no advisories or corrosion, brake, or suspension concerns across the five entries. A clean sheet at this mileage is unusual and may reflect rigorous upkeep or, conversely, testers not logging minor wear. The buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity, subframe corrosion, coil springs, and binding calipers given the high mileage and age. Prior to purchase, verify the 7 May 2025 failure reason through the full DVSA certificate, as the summary lists no defects. Check tyre tread depth, exhaust emissions under load, and drivetrain noise on a road test to confirm the Mondeo's mechanical condition matches its apparently clean test lineage.
