2012 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · SP62 PZB

This 2012 Ford Mondeo holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 2026-02-20 at 153,651 miles, sitting five months fresh relative to today. The maintenance trend displays a recurring pattern of preliminary test failures followed by prompt rectification, yet mechanical resilience remains stable for a high-mileage diesel estate. The single advisory on the latest test for a severely deteriorated offside front constant velocity boot demands immediate attention to prevent joint contamination and premature steering drivetrain failure. Annual mileage accumulation averages around 11,000 miles, aligning closely with typical UK driving patterns for this vehicle class. The record shows consistent seasonal testing habits, moving smoothly from July test dates between 2018 and 2022 into early spring appointments from 2023 onward. A sharp accumulation period is visible between the February 2024 test at 118,339 miles and the February 2025 test at 135,754 miles, where the car covered over 17,000 miles in twelve months without recording a single advisory or failure. Prospective buyers must thoroughly inspect the front and rear suspension components, as the history highlights chronic wear in trailing arm bushes, lower suspension arm corrosion, and a past nearside rear coil spring fracture recorded during the February 2023 test. Constant velocity boots require careful scrutiny given that split boots appeared on multiple occasions in July 2019, July 2022, and again on the most recent 2026 test. Brake discs showing pitting alongside worn track rod ends noted in previous tests indicate that the next owner should budget for comprehensive checks of the stopping and steering linkages.
