Our Verdict
Exercise caution before purchasing this
If you proceed with a purchase, prioritize a professional underside inspection. The 2025 MOT records specifically mention that undertrays were fitted, which prevented a full underside inspection, and noted corrosion on the rear sub-frame and both rear suspension arms. You must confirm whether this corrosion has been treated or if it is progressing.
Check the service history for evidence of brake pipe maintenance, as the offside brake pipe was noted as corroded and obscured by grease in the most recent test. Additionally, verify that the passenger door issue noted in the 2025 failure (unable to open from outside) has been fully rectified. Given the high mileage, ensure the timing belt and water pump have been changed according to Ford's recommendations, as this is a common requirement for the 2.0L diesel engine.
As a 2.0L diesel, this Mondeo is designed for higher mileage efficiency, though running costs will be influenced by its age and current condition. Expect moderate fuel economy typical of a large diesel saloon/hatchback.
Tax and insurance will depend on the specific CO2 rating and driver profile, but the 2.0L engine generally sits in a mid-range insurance group. Maintenance costs may be higher than average due to the recent MOT findings regarding tyres, suspension components, and brake pipes, which suggest a need for upcoming mechanical attention.
The most critical area to inspect is the underside of the vehicle. The MOT history explicitly flags corrosion on the rear sub-frame and both rear suspension arms, as well as a corroded offside brake pipe. Because the 2025 inspector noted that undertrays prevented a full view, a specialist should check for hidden structural rust.
Secondly, inspect the tyres and suspension. The vehicle has a history of tyres being worn close to the legal limit on both the nearside and offside fronts. Finally, test all doors and electrical components, specifically the registration plate lamp, which was flagged as inoperative in the most recent failure.
This 2013 black Ford Mondeo diesel has covered 115,093 miles, which is significantly higher than the model average of 7,959 miles per year. While it has passed its most recent MOT, the records show a pattern of recurring issues, specifically regarding tyre wear, suspension corrosion, and brake pipe condition. The vehicle has experienced multiple failures over its recent history, including a failure in late 2025 involving multiple suspension and tyre defects.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 78.1% MOT pass rate, with common failure points including tyres, anti-roll bars, and brake pipes.
