2013 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · DB56 MUZ

The 2013 Ford Mondeo presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 10 January 2026 at 73,439 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the available history. The recorded mileage of 73,439 against a 13-year-old vehicle equates to roughly 5,649 miles per year, indicating light use. The test on 8 July 2022 at 59,695 miles and the next on 7 February 2023 at 61,942 miles show a short six-month gap with only 2,247 miles covered, followed by annual intervals with modest annual increments of around 3,000 to 4,000 miles. The DVSA record contains no failures, advisories, or flagged corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions issues across any entry, reflecting a sparse but clean dataset. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the low mileage and possible prolonged standing periods, which MOT tests may not fully expose on a briefly driven vehicle. The absence of recorded advisories on coil springs, binding calipers, or tyre tread wear suggests previous owners kept basic upkeep current, yet worn consumables such as wiper blades and tyres should be verified visually. Pre-purchase checks ought to include a compression test of the drivetrain and a scrutiny of suspension mounting points for ingress of moisture. The clean MOT lineage implies responsible custody, but low-use Mondeos of this era are prone to dormant rust at sills and subframes not always caught during a pass.
