2012 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · FE62 NAA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following its most recent MOT test on 2 July 2025 at 99,153 miles, where it passed with no defects recorded. This result followed a failure just two days prior, suggesting that a minor issue was identified and immediately rectified before the retest. The trend of clean passes across the last three years indicates that the vehicle has been maintained to a functional standard without any recurring mechanical degradation or structural failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual usage for a fourteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression of use, with 4,026 miles covered between September 2023 and September 2024, and another 2,842 miles recorded between September 2024 and July 2025. This regular interval suggests the car is used consistently, which often helps prevent the perish of rubber seals and corrosion of brake components that frequently affects vehicles that sit stationary for long periods. While the MOT history is currently clean, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on common wear points for this generation of Mondeo. Given the age and mileage, check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of tearing, as these often fail before triggering an MOT advisory. Additionally examine the underbody for structural corrosion on the sills and exhaust system, as the record does not explicitly rule out surface rust. The recent failure in June 2025 warrants a quick inquiry into what specific component required immediate attention to ensure the repair was permanent rather than a temporary fix.
