2012 Ford Mondeo 2.2L Diesel · EO12 KFT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 21 March 2026 at 136,637 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently met testing standards following initial failures. The absence of any recorded defects on the 2026 pass indicates that the mechanical issues identified in previous years were addressed, leaving the vehicle in a condition that does not currently show signs of ongoing mechanical or structural failure. The mileage profile is consistent with a fourteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,760 miles per year. Data shows a steady usage pattern with 21,292 miles covered between January 2024 and February 2025, and another 24,634 miles covered between February 2025 and March 2026. This recent acceleration suggests the car is used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for maintaining engine seals and preventing brake corrosion. However, the high volume of miles covered in the last year puts significant pressure on wear components and the drivetrain. While the recent history shows clean passes, the recurring failures just miles before the successful tests in 2025 and 2026 suggest the vehicle operates on the margin of consumable-related defects. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, as these are common failure points on Mondeos of this mileage. Given the age, a thorough check of the brake discs for thinning and the calipers for binding is also necessary to ensure the structural integrity of the braking system despite the clean recent record.
