2013 Ford Mondeo 1.6L Diesel · FL13 DJJ

The 2013 Ford Mondeo presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 19 March 2026 at 106,405 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 26 March 2025 at 96,270 miles confirms the vehicle has cleared its last two examinations without advisories or faults. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a thirteen-year-old car, averaging roughly 8,185 miles per year. The record shows 84,123 miles at the April 2024 pass, rising to 96,270 by March 2025 and 106,405 by March 2026, a steady annual climb of around 10,000 to 11,000 miles with no abrupt jumps or long dormant gaps. Two earlier failures on 24 March 2025 at 96,234 miles and 27 March 2024 at 83,950 miles were logged with no defects recorded, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than mechanical faults, and the owner rectified the paperwork within days each time. The absence of any advisories across the full history means the tester never flagged worn suspension bushes, corroded structures, binding calipers, or failing emissions. That clean sheet suggests previous owners kept basic consumables and structural items in check, though a no-defect record is not proof of underlying condition. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of brake discs, coil springs, and underbody corrosion given the car's age and salt-exposed winters. Verify the tyre tread depth and wiper condition, as these consumables fall outside MOT fail thresholds until severely worn. The rapid re-test after each 2024 and 2025 failure hints at loose record-keeping rather than neglected engineering, but confirming service invoices remains sensible.
