2013 Ford Mondeo 1.6L Petrol · AF63 EKL

The 2013 Ford Mondeo presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 27 May 2025 at 111,271 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 25 May 2023 at 67,034 miles confirms a two-year run free of advisories or failures. The single blemish remains a failed test on 28 May 2024 at 87,822 miles that the DVSA log shows with no defects recorded, immediately followed by a pass on the same day at identical mileage, pointing to an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage sits at roughly 8,559 per year against the 13-year lifespan, which is typical for the model age. The records show stepped accumulation: 43,065 miles in May 2022, 67,034 in May 2023, then 87,822 by May 2024, before a sharp 23,449-mile jump to 111,271 by May 2025. That final year absorbed nearly triple the prior yearly average, suggesting heavier recent use or a prior low-mileage ownership phase giving way to commuter-level driving. No tester ever flagged suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, binding calipers, corrosion, or exhaust emissions across the five entries. The clean sheet means the buyer faces no documented structural or mechanical risks from the MOT trail itself. A zero-advisory history on an 111,000-mile Mondeo often reflects either diligent upkeep or superficial testing, so on-site verification remains sensible. Inspect the front suspension arms and rear trailing bushes for play, check brake disc lip and pad depth given the high-mileage final year, and confirm underneath for structural rust at sills and subframes. The duplicated 28 May 2024 entry with a fail and instant pass warrants a glance at the V5C and any workshop invoices to rule out suppressed minor defects.
