2012 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · CE62 AEO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having maintained a clean record across the three most recent inspections. The latest MOT conducted on 16 July 2025 at 130,229 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety and emission standards. While a failure occurred in July 2023, the immediate pass on the re-test that same day suggests the owner was proactive in addressing any identified mechanical faults promptly. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,300 miles per annum. Between the July 2022 test at 106,071 miles and the July 2025 test at 130,229 miles, the car covered 24,158 miles. This steady accumulation suggests regular usage rather than long periods of stationary time which often leads to component degradation. The absence of advisories over the last three years indicates that the primary structural and mechanical components are holding well against the current mileage level. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the recent history, a physical inspection should focus on common wear points for a Mondeo of this age that do not always trigger an MOT failure. Check the condition of the suspension bushes and control arm joints for cracking, as these often perish after 130,000 miles. Examine the brake discs for uneven wear or corrosion and inspect the exhaust system for signs of structural thinning, as the record does not detail the remaining life of these consumable items.
