2013 Ford Mondeo 1.6L Diesel · CX13 YJS

The 2013 Ford Mondeo presents a stable roadworthiness profile with no recorded defects across its recent test cycle. The most recent pass occurred on 19 June 2024 at 145,832 miles with no advisories logged, indicating the vehicle met statutory standards at that point. A failed entry on the same date at 145,831 miles shows no defects recorded, which points to an administrative or data anomaly rather than a mechanical fault, and the tester issued a clean pass one mile later. Annual mileage averages 11,218 across the 13-year life, which is typical for a fleet or private commuter of this class. The records show 119,022 miles on 28 June 2022, rising to 130,208 by 23 June 2023 and 145,832 by 19 June 2024. That equates to roughly 11,000 to 15,600 miles per year, with no standing gaps or sudden accumulation spikes. The four-year MOT trail is sparse but clean, showing no flagged corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions concerns at any stage. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and underbody condition despite the clear history. The absence of advisories does not exempt the Mondeo from age-related wear on coil springs, subframe mounts, or brake calipers that a short test may not capture. Verify the 19 June 2024 fail-and-pass pairing with DVSA to confirm no suppressed defect, and check tyre tread depth and wiper blades as consumables now due regardless of the clean record. Given the unbroken pass rate and ordinary mileage, prior owners appear to have maintained statutory compliance without neglect. The lack of repeated tyre or brake failures suggests basic upkeep was not skipped. Treat the car as mechanically sound on paper, but validate suspension and rust status before purchase given its 145,832-mile, 13-year profile.
