2012 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · SV12 AMX

The Ford Mondeo presents as roadworthy following the most recent DVSA test on 2 June 2025 at 110,573 miles, where the tester issued a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend reads as stable across the available history, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. A failed entry on the same date and mileage appears anomalous, showing no listed defects, yet the vehicle secured a clean pass on the identical day. Recorded mileage sits at 110,573 over roughly fourteen years, equating to about 7,898 miles annually, which is typical for the model's age. The history jumps from 38,489 miles at the 22 May 2015 test to 58,564 by 20 May 2016, then 70,506 on 11 May 2017, before a long gap to the 2025 entries at 110,573. That gap of eight years leaves the intervening wear on suspension bushes, brake discs, and corrosion unchecked by MOT data. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, given the dormant record between 2017 and 2025. The tester noted no binding calipers, exhaust emissions issues, or coil spring fatigue, but standing periods often conceal perished rubber components and seized linkages. Focus physical checks on subframe rust, tyre sidewall condition, and dampers for weeping seals. The clean advisories suggest prior owners met baseline upkeep, though the 2025 duplicate entries warrant confirmation that the failure was administrative rather than a concealed defect.
