2012 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · FH62 AUU

The 2012 Ford Mondeo presents a stable and highly consistent maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass at its most recent MOT on 17 December 2025 at 87,983 miles. The absence of any defects or advisories across the last five consecutive annual tests indicates a vehicle that has been kept in sound mechanical order. This unblemished record suggests the previous owner addressed wear items proactively rather than allowing faults to accumulate. The mileage accumulation aligns perfectly with the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 6,284 miles per year. Examining the specific intervals reveals a steady, predictable usage pattern: 4,085 miles between the 2021 and 2022 tests, 3,904 miles between 2022 and 2023, 3,100 miles between 2023 and 2024, and 3,173 miles between 2024 and 2025. There are no alarming gaps or sudden spikes in the odometer readings that would suggest long periods of inactivity or severe short-term abuse. The data is entirely clean and consistent. Despite the flawless MOT history, a physical inspection remains essential for a 14-year-old vehicle. The tester flagged no recurring structural or mechanical issues, but age-related deterioration can occur between annual tests. A buyer should inspect the underside for corrosion on the subframe, suspension mounting points, and brake lines, as these components degrade over time regardless of mileage. Suspension bushes and coil springs require close scrutiny for perishing or cracking, while the condition of the brake discs and pads should be verified to ensure they are not near their service limits. The exhaust system must be checked for corrosion, particularly around the welds and silencer seams. Tyre age and tread depth also warrant attention, as rubber hardens and cracks over the years even with adequate tread remaining.
