2013 Ford Mondeo 1.6L Diesel · SD63 AEE

The 2013 Ford Mondeo presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent passed MOT on 11 January 2025 at 135,462 miles recording no defects. The prior day's failure on 10 January 2025 at identical mileage carries no listed defects, indicating an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault-driven test outcome. Across the available history the vehicle cleared every recorded test without advisories, showing no worsening pattern of wear or recurring mechanical concerns. Annual mileage sits at roughly 10,420 miles against the 13-year lifespan, a typical usage rate for this class. The records show 119,359 miles on 29 December 2022, rising to 101,767 by 23 December 2021 and 129,065 on 8 January 2024 before reaching 135,462 in January 2025. A gap exists between the 2022 and 2024 entries with no 2023 test logged, though the mileage progression remains consistent and free of sudden accumulation spikes. The clean pass sheet across five years implies the previous keeper maintained basic statutory testing discipline. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc thickness given the vehicle's age and 135,000-mile accrual. The absence of advisories in the DVSA data does not preclude age-related corrosion on structural underbody members or fatigued rubber components now outside the test window. Verify the January 2025 failure reason through the full DVSA certificate, as the blank defect field may obscure a documentation anomaly rather than a confirmed roadworthy condition.
