2013 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · KM13 OOD

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in July 2025 at 145,654 miles passed, it noted that the front brake discs were pitted and scored. This continues a multi-year trend where components are only addressed once they approach the threshold of failure. The overall trend is stable in terms of passing but indicates an owner who consistently delays the replacement of consumable wear items like pads and discs. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's thirteen-year age, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per year. Between July 2021 at 109,166 miles and July 2025 at 145,654 miles, the car covered roughly 36,500 miles, showing steady usage patterns. There are no significant gaps in the testing history to suggest long periods of neglect, though the high mileage places considerable strain on the Ford's drivetrain and rubber components, which is reflected in the recurring suspension advisories. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the rear suspension and braking system. The record flagged rear suspension arm pins and bushes in 2022 and 2023, and although these were not mentioned in the latest test, they remain a likely area for play or perished rubber at this mileage. The persistent history of thin pads and scored discs across all five tests suggests the braking system may be nearing the end of its current service cycle. Additionally, the frequent advisories for perishing rear tyres in 2024 indicate that the current rubber should be thoroughly checked for age-related dry rot regardless of tread depth.
