2013 Ford Mondeo Zetec Business EDN Tdci 2.0L Diesel · UUI 1009

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 12 January 2026 at 171,416 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears consistent following a brief failure in October 2024. While the car failed the test at 165,951 miles, the subsequent re-test just one month later at 166,434 miles indicates that the issues were addressed promptly, and the vehicle currently shows no outstanding mechanical requirements. The mileage reflects a high-use profile, averaging approximately 13,200 miles per year over its thirteen-year life. The data shows a steady accumulation of mileage, particularly the 17,000-mile interval recorded between June 2022 and July 2023. This consistent usage suggests the vehicle was used regularly for motorway commuting, which typically results in more even wear on drivetrain components compared to short-distance city driving. The lack of long gaps between tests indicates the car has remained in active service rather than sitting stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking system given the high-mileage. The 2022 advisory noted a nearside rear tyre worn on the edge, which often points to tracking alignment issues or worn rear control arm bushes. At over 171,000 miles, the suspension bushings, coil springs, and shock absorbers should be checked for signs of excessive play or leakage. Additionally, the chassis should be inspected for structural corrosion, as high-mileage Ford Mondeos of this era are susceptible to surface rust in the sills and rear mounting points despite a clean MOT history.
