2012 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · FN62 GZX

The 2012 Ford Mondeo presents a currently roadworthy status following a passed MOT on 16 April 2025 at 114,268 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable on paper, though the record shows a recurring pattern of same-day fail-and-pass sequences that warrant scrutiny. The tester issued a failure on 15 April 2025 at identical mileage, then passed it the next day with no defects logged, and the same occurred on 15 and 19 September 2023 at 109,256 and 109,277 miles respectively. Recorded mileage sits at a typical 114,268 over roughly 14 years, equating to about 8,162 miles per year. The gaps between tests are modest: 100,765 miles on 25 August 2022, rising to 109,277 by September 2023, then 114,268 by April 2025. This reflects light annual use with no rapid accumulation or long standing periods implied. The clean advisory history across all entries suggests consumables such as tyres, brake discs, and suspension bushes were either maintained or simply not flagged. The repeated fail-then-pass outcomes at matching mileages indicate administrative or presentation issues rather than documented mechanical faults, since no defects or advisories were ever recorded. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity, subframe corrosion, and binding calipers, as a 2012 Mondeo at this age commonly hides rust and worn suspension components not captured by a cursory test. Given the absence of logged defects, previous owners likely kept basic upkeep current, but the same-day failures hint the vehicle may have been presented without prior correction. Verify the V5C and ask the seller for the 15 April 2025 failure reason in writing before purchase.
