2012 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · MT62 AEV

The 2012 Ford Mondeo demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its last four MOT tests, including the most recent 2026-01-23 pass at 114,872 miles. The 2022-12-31 failure at 97,644 miles listed no defects, suggesting either a procedural error or a minor issue resolved before subsequent passes. The absence of recurring mechanical or structural faults across 2023–2026 tests indicates consistent maintenance, though the 2022 failure warrants scrutiny to confirm whether underlying issues were addressed. The vehicle’s mileage of 114,872 miles over 14 years aligns with an average of 8,205 miles annually, reflecting typical usage for its age. MOT records show regular testing intervals, with no significant gaps between assessments. The 2023–2026 tests at 97,646–114,872 miles reveal no escalating issues, suggesting the owner prioritized routine checks. However, the lack of detailed defect reports limits insight into potential wear on components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake discs, which often degrade over time without overt failure. A buyer should inspect the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, common in 14-year-old vehicles, and check brake discs for uneven wear or corrosion. The exhaust system and structural integrity should also be verified, as these components can deteriorate without immediate MOT failures. While the MOT history shows no critical issues, the 2022 failure—despite no recorded defects—highlights the importance of a physical inspection to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical condition beyond documented tests.
