2013 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · CU63 FEX

The 2013 Ford Mondeo currently holds no valid roadworthiness pass. The most recent test on 26 July 2024 recorded a failure at 169,808 miles with no defects listed, which points to an administrative or unlogged fault rather than a clean mechanical result. The maintenance trend is unclear and cannot be called stable, worsening, or improving, because the three prior tests between 2022 and 2023 show passes and a same-day failure with zero defects recorded, leaving the actual condition undocumented. Mileage sat at 145,350 on 27 April 2022, then rose to 161,166 by 11 July 2023, and reached 169,808 by 26 July 2024. That averages roughly 13,000 miles per year, high for a thirteen-year-old car and concentrated in the later life of the vehicle. A gap of over fourteen months between the 2022 and 2023 tests, followed by a same-day fail and pass at identical mileage, suggests intermittent use or a rushed retest rather than steady upkeep. The sparse record gives no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion, so a buyer cannot rely on the MOT alone to judge structural integrity. The 2024 failure with no defects logged demands clarification from the testing station before any purchase. In person, the buyer should inspect for worn suspension components, binding calipers, exhaust emissions compliance, and underbody rust given the age and high annual mileage. Given the undocumented 2024 failure and the odd 2023 same-day fail-pass cycle, I would treat this Mondeo as unverified until a fresh test or independent inspection confirms the brakes, steering, and chassis are sound. Previous owners appear to have left testing late and close together, which hints at minimal proactive maintenance.
