2012 Ford Mondeo 1.6L Diesel · DA12 NNV

The 2012 Ford Mondeo demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent MOT on 2025-07-24 at 157,819 miles recording a pass and no defects. Subsequent tests from 2024-07-25 (124,472 miles) and 2023-07-05 (118,830 miles) also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance. A failed test on 2023-07-04 at the same mileage as the subsequent pass suggests either a procedural error or a non-critical failure, though no defects were recorded. Overall, the vehicle shows no signs of worsening mechanical or structural issues. The mileage progression aligns with typical annual usage of 11,273 miles, but a significant jump from 124,472 miles (2024) to 157,819 miles (2025) reflects a 33,347-mile increase in 12 months. This rapid accumulation may accelerate wear on components like brake discs, suspension bushes, and exhaust systems. However, the absence of advisories or failures in the 2025 test suggests these elements have not yet degraded to a critical level. The MOT history lacks gaps, implying regular servicing, though the 2023 failed test remains unexplained. A buyer should inspect the suspension for worn coil springs or bushings, given the high mileage, and check brake discs for uneven wear or corrosion. The exhaust system warrants scrutiny, as higher mileage increases the risk of leaks or rust. While no structural corrosion or major faults are documented, the 2023 failed test—despite no recorded defects—merits further investigation to confirm if it relates to emissions or non-critical issues. The vehicle’s MOT record does not flag immediate risks, but its age and mileage necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection.
