2012 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · DF12 AEM

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with all MOT tests from 2022 to 2026 recording no defects. The most recent 2026-01-16 test at 78,578 miles confirmed compliance, indicating consistent maintenance. No recurring issues or escalating faults are evident in the history, suggesting the previous owner prioritized regular servicing. The absence of advisories or failures across six consecutive tests reflects a well-maintained vehicle within its operational parameters. The mileage progression shows a steady annual increase, averaging 5,613 miles per year over 14 years. Tests conducted approximately 12 months apart reveal no abrupt spikes or prolonged inactivity, with the 2024-02-09 test at 69,029 miles and 2025-01-17 test at 74,438 miles aligning with expected usage. The data lacks anomalies, implying predictable operation without excessive wear on consumables or structural components. While the MOT record is clean, a physical inspection should focus on suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc thickness, as these degrade gradually and may not trigger immediate failures. Corrosion checks on the underbody and exhaust system are also advised, as low-mileage vehicles can develop rust during periods of inactivity. The absence of prior issues does not eliminate the need for a thorough pre-purchase assessment of these critical systems.
