2013 Ford Mondeo Titanium X B-S EDN Tdci 2.0L Diesel · PR03 EPR

The most recent MOT test conducted on 17 November 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. Looking back through the history to 2022, the vehicle has maintained a remarkably consistent trend of clean passes without a single advisory or failure. This suggests a stable maintenance regime and indicates that the vehicle has likely been subject to proactive upkeep, ensuring that wear items are replaced before they reach a state of failure or become a safety concern. The recorded mileage of 111,441 miles over a thirteen year period equates to an average annual usage of approximately 8,572 miles. This is considered typical for a diesel vehicle of this age and suggests a balanced usage profile. From a mechanical perspective, this mileage indicates that the engine and drivetrain are well-seasoned, though the vehicle is now at a stage where natural wear on rubber components and chassis bushings is expected, regardless of the absence of MOT failures. Given the exceptionally clean MOT record, the prospective buyer should focus on age-related degradation that may not be flagged during a standard inspection. It is essential to examine the tyre sidewalls for signs of perishing or hairline cracking, as rubber compounds degrade over time even if the tread depth remains legal. The brake discs should be inspected for surface corrosion or pitting, and the buyer should ensure there are no binding calipers that could lead to premature pad wear or overheating. Additionally, the health of the 12V battery should be verified, as older batteries can suffer from diminished cranking power. Crucially, the buyer must verify the service history regarding the timing belt and water pump, as these are critical maintenance items for the TDCI engine that do not appear on MOT records. Check for any oil seepage around the engine seals or turbocharger lines and ensure that fluids have been changed according to calendar intervals to prevent internal sludge buildup. During the test drive, listen for any subtle clunks from the suspension bushes or vibrations through the steering wheel, which could indicate the early stages of wear in the steering rack or wheel bearings that have not yet reached the threshold of an MOT failure.
