2012 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · K17 CAF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record in its most recent inspections. The latest MOT test conducted in January 2024 at 107,180 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating that mechanical and safety components met the required standard. While a failure occurred in October 2022, the subsequent pass in early 2023 suggests the identified issues were addressed promptly and the vehicle has remained maintained since. The mileage pattern is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per year. Between November 2020 at 88,664 miles and January 2024 at 107,180 miles, the car covered 18,516 miles, showing steady usage rather than the extreme stress associated with high-mileage or the degradation caused by long periods of inactivity. The gap between the 2022 failure and the 2023 pass shows very low accumulation of only 3,023 miles during that specific interval. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity and suspension components, as these are the common points of failure on the Mondeo platform of this era. Although the recent records show no advisories, the inspector should check for corrosion on the sills, rear subframe, and wish arm bushes. Given the mileage, verifying the condition of the brake disc thickness and checking for weeping shock seals is also advisable to ensure no accelerated wear has occurred since the last official test.
