2013 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · WU13 AAX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by five consecutive MOT passes without recorded failures. The most recent test conducted on 5 March 2025 at 192,977 miles returned no defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. This consistency suggests that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a standard that avoids the common mechanical failures often seen in cars of this age. The mileage profile reflects high usage for a thirteen-year-old Mondeo, averaging approximately 14,800 miles per annum. There was a significant surge in activity between October 2022 and September 2023, where the car covered 25,766 miles in just eleven months. Since then, the accumulation has remained consistent, with nearly 10,000 miles recorded between the February 2024 and March 2025 tests. This high annual mileage places considerable strain on the drivetrain and suspension, yet the lack of advisories suggests these components have held under load. Given the clean MOT history, a physical inspection should focus on components most susceptible to high-mileage wear that do not always trigger an MOT failure. A buyer must examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for perished rubber, as these often degrade after 150,000 miles. Brake discs and pads should be checked for thinning or glazing, as the high mileage implies frequent use of the braking system. Additionally, the chassis should be inspected for structural corrosion, particularly around the rear subframe, to ensure the high-mileage use has not compromised the integrity of the vehicle.
