2013 Ford Mondeo 2.2L Diesel · ME02 AVA

The vehicle currently maintains a stable roadworthiness status, having a clean pass in its most recent test on February 2026 at 85,383 miles. This result indicates an improvement over the previous year where several mechanical and consumable issues required immediate attention. While the history shows a failure in early 2023, the subsequent two tests without recorded defects suggest that the current owner is proactive in rectifying flagged faults before renewal. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per year. The data shows steady usage without significant gaps or sudden bursts of high-mileage, though there is a notable increase in activity between April 2023 and February 2024, where the car covered over 7,000 miles. This regular interval suggests consistent operation rather than long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for maintaining the integrity of rubber components and engine seals in a Ford of this age. An in-person inspection should focus on the rear suspension assembly, given the 2023 failure due to excessively worn and likely detaching suspension arm pins and bushes. Although these were repaired, the buyer should check for premature tyre wear or uneven scrubbing, as the February 2025 test flagged all four tyres as being near the legal limit and worn on the edges. This pattern often indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension geometry that could compromise handling if not properly addressed.
