2012 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · H3 CPN

The 2025‑08‑27 MOT at 129,687 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating that the vehicle currently meets the DVSA roadworthiness standards and shows a stable maintenance trend since the previous test in 2024 also passed without defects. Mileage has risen steadily from 58,607 miles in February 2015 to 129,687 miles in August 2025, a gain of roughly 71,080 miles over 11 years, or about 9,263 miles per annum, which aligns with the typical usage for a 14‑year‑old Mondeo. Recurring observations include rear coil spring corrosion first noted in the 2020 test and persisting through 2022, while suspension bushes showed deterioration in 2016‑2017 but were not reported after 2023; brake pad wear was flagged in 2015, and tyre tread approached the legal limit in 2017‑2018, yet the 2023 and 2025 tests recorded no mechanical failures. A buyer should therefore prioritize a close examination of the rear suspension for rust and worn bushes, verify brake pad thickness and disc condition, assess tyre wear, and confirm that the windscreen damage and any previous defects have been fully remedied before purchase.
