Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2013 Ford Mondeo has a recent MOT on 2026-02-12, showing it passed with minor issues related to suspension components and a deteriorated anti-roll bar dust cover. These were not critical but indicate wear in key areas. Looking at the MOT history, there is a recurring pattern of minor mechanical and safety issues, including suspension wear, tyre condition, oil leaks, and lighting problems. The vehicle had a failed MOT in 2025-03-08, which was later passed, suggesting some repairs were made. However, the same issues reappeared, indicating ongoing maintenance needs. The trend appears to be stable, with no major new defects emerging in the most recent test. However, the repeated nature of the issues suggests that underlying problems may not have been fully resolved. The vehicle’s condition does not show clear signs of worsening, but it also does not show improvement. The recorded mileage of 176,281 miles for a 13-year-old car is high, averaging around 13,560 miles per year. This could mean heavy use, which may lead to increased wear on components like brakes, suspension, and the drivetrain.
