2013 Ford Mondeo 1.6L Diesel · NG13 ADZ

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, passing its most recent inspection on December 3 2025 at 203,255 miles. While the latest result shows no defects, the maintenance trend reveals a pattern of immediate failures followed by reactive repairs. The car failed the test just two miles prior in December 2025 and 106 miles prior in 2024. This suggests the previous owner addressed mechanical issues only when necessitated by the MOT testing process rather than following a preventative maintenance schedule. At 13 years old, the recorded 203,255 miles represent a high annual usage rate of approximately 15,600 miles. This consistent high mileage indicates significant long-term motorway use, which typically places specific stresses on the drivetrain and suspension components. Between December 2023 and December 2024, the vehicle covered 14,481 miles, maintaining a steady and heavy operational demand. The high mileage significantly accelerates the wear of wear-and-tear items such as the turbocharger, shock absorbers, and the structural integrity of the exhaust system. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension geometry and underbody, as high-mileage Mondeos frequently suffer from perished bushes and worn control arms. Given the recurring failures in 2024 and 2025, it is vital to verify exactly what components triggered those re-tests. Look for signs of excessive corrosion on the brake lines and check for binding calipers or thin discs. The high mileage also suggests the clutch and flywheel assembly may be nearing their of life, potentially requiring significant capital investment in the near future.
