2013 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · CE13 XPC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding reactive rather than proactive maintenance. While the car passed its most recent test in May 2026 at 120,694 miles, this followed a failure just one day prior that revealed multiple defects including a fractured coil spring and exhaust failures. The recurring nature of exhaust mounting issues and minor corrosion across several years suggests that components are only being addressed when they reach a failure threshold rather than being replaced during scheduled service intervals. At 120,694 miles over 13 years, the vehicle averages approximately 9,284 miles per year, which is consistent with typical usage for a saloon of this age. The data shows steady mileage accumulation, with roughly 5,000 miles covered between July 2024 and May 2026, and another 4,000 miles in the year leading up to that. This consistent use suggests the vehicle is driven regularly, though the high mileage places significant stress on wear-and-tear components such as the suspension and braking system. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension and steering assembly, given the play noted in the steering rack inner joints as of July 2024 and the fractured offside rear coil spring identified in 2026. The braking system requires attention as the most recent test noted pitting and scoring on the front discs with significant internal corrosion, indicating either long periods of inactivity or low-quality components. Additionally, the entire exhaust system should be inspected for structural integrity, as corroded mounts and hangers have been aので point of failure since 2023.
