2012 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · SV12 ADO

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-05-27 at 143,286 miles recorded a PASS, but a conflicting FAIL entry on the same date with no defects noted raises ambiguity. Previous tests from 2024-05-21 (136,988 miles), 2023-05-30 (130,996 miles), and 2020-02-06 (105,647 miles) all showed PASS with no defects. The maintenance trend appears stable, with no recurring issues identified across the last five years. However, the duplicate test entries on 2025-05-27 require clarification, as they may indicate administrative error or unrecorded faults. The vehicle’s mileage of 143,286 miles over 14 years aligns with an average of 10,235 miles annually, consistent with typical usage. A notable jump from 105,647 miles in 2020 to 130,996 miles in 2023 suggests accelerated wear over three years, though subsequent tests show slower accumulation. The MOT history lacks gaps, indicating regular servicing. No significant anomalies in mileage progression are evident, though the absence of detailed defect reports limits insight into component longevity. A buyer should inspect suspension components, such as coil springs and bushes, for wear given the high mileage, and check brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or corrosion. The absence of structural rust or emission failures in MOT records is positive, but the lack of detailed servicing logs means verifying fluid levels, exhaust integrity, and steering alignment during a physical inspection is advisable. The vehicle’s roadworthiness appears intact, but thorough mechanical checks are recommended to confirm its condition.
