2012 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · FN12 GZZ

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthiness rating of 100, indicating that the MOT has passed the current test, though the most recent inspection in July 2025 was conducted at 162,293 miles. This is a significant discrepancy from earlier assessments in July 2024, which failed on two separate occasions, suggesting the vehicle has not undergone adequate maintenance in recent years. The maintenance trend appears to be deteriorating, with the most recent test occurring 12 months ago, implying that previous owners may have been careless about routine checks. The mileage record shows a pattern of rapid accumulation, particularly during the 2025-07-14 and 2025-07-16 tests where the tester flagged specific defects such as rear brake disc pitting and rear tyre wear. This rapid mileage increase over a short period suggests that the vehicle has not been properly serviced for the duration of this interval, leading to accelerated wear on critical components. The gap between the 2025-07-14 and 2025-07-16 tests, where the vehicle failed on both the exhaust and brake discs, indicates a failure to address these issues before the next inspection. In conclusion, the buyer must inspect the vehicle for structural integrity, specifically checking for corrosion on rear exhaust mounting and heat shields, and verifying the condition of suspension bushes and coil springs. Given the recurring faults and the lack of recent MOTs, the vehicle is not roadworthy and requires immediate professional assessment to determine if it can be safely driven or if it needs urgent repair.
