2013 Ford Mondeo 1.6L Diesel · WP13 EFT

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having maintained a clean pass record over the last three years. The most recent test conducted on June 30, 2023 at 132,392 miles passed with no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates that since a minor failure in mid-2020, the car has met the minimum standards for road safety without recurring mechanical or structural failures being flagged by the tester. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a thirteen-year-old Mondeo, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. Between July 2021 and June 2023, the car covered 13,639 miles, showing a steady usage pattern rather than long periods of neglect or excessive strain. This regular interval suggests the vehicle has been used for routine commuting, which often helps prevent internal component degradation caused by standing, though the total figure reflects the high-mileage brackets that typically stress the drivetrain and suspension components. While the MOT history is clean, a buyer must still perform a physical inspection of common wear points for a vehicle of this age and mileage. At 132,000 miles, the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers is critical as these parts often show fatigue before failing inspection. You should also check the brake caliper seals for leaks and the discs for thinning, as the MOT only tests for functional failure rather than gradual wear. A close look at the structural integrity of the sills and wheel arches is necessary to ensure no hidden corrosion has developed since the last recorded test.
