2012 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · FL62 ORG

The 2012 Ford Mondeo presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 10 September 2025 at 131,754 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of passes with no advisories or failures logged by DVLA examiners. Annual mileage has tracked close to the typical 9,411 miles per year for a car of this age. The record shows 79,132 miles in September 2021, rising to 92,287 by September 2022, 104,755 by September 2023, 117,709 by September 2024, and 131,754 by September 2025. Each twelve-month period added roughly 12,000 to 14,000 miles. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear in the data, and the absence of any recorded advisories across all five tests suggests the previous keeper kept basic consumable and mechanical upkeep current. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the vehicle despite the clean sheet. Fourteen years of UK road salt and weather can develop structural corrosion on sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points that a visual MOT check may not capture. The tester logged no worn suspension bushes, coil spring fractures, or binding brake calipers, yet these components degrade with age independent of mileage. Verify the service history matches the odometer and confirm tyre tread depth, brake disc wear, and exhaust emissions during a pre-purchase check. The Mondeo shows no worsening trend and remains mechanically sound on paper, but age-related rubber perishing and unseen rust remain the only real risks the MOT record cannot rule out.
