2012 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · FH61 BFE

The 2012 Ford Mondeo presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 20 February 2026 at 131,062 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the supplied history is stable, with every pass showing a clean sheet and no advisories logged at any stage. The record does, however, show two failed tests on the same dates as subsequent passes, which points to administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical defects. Mileage has accumulated at a typical rate for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 9,362 miles per year against the 131,062 miles recorded. The tests show 117,971 miles on 24 January 2024, 122,321 miles at the failed test on 12 February 2025, 122,362 miles two days later, and 131,062 miles by February 2026. That equates to about 8,700 miles between the 2025 and 2026 tests, consistent with normal private use. No long dormant periods or sudden high accumulation are evident from the data supplied. The repeated same-day fail-and-pass entries on 12 to 14 February 2025 and 20 February 2026, both with no defects recorded, suggest the previous owner relied on prompt retesting rather than deferring work, though the reason for failure is absent from the record. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, and underbody structural integrity, as a clean MOT does not certify component life remaining. Given the age and 131,062 miles, expect consumable wear on tyres, wiper blades, and exhaust emissions components. The absence of advisories across five years of testing implies either diligent upkeep or cursory examination; verify service history and check for corrosion at sills and subframes before purchase.
