2012 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · WR12 AEM

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, maintaining a remarkably stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted on 18 June 2025 at 148,265 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This clean sheet across five consecutive annual tests suggests that the previous owners have been proactive regarding vehicle upkeep, addressing potential mechanical issues before they could result in an MOT failure. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally consistent for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,600 miles per annum. Between June 2021 and June 2025, the car covered 8,640 miles, representing a steady usage of roughly 2,160 miles per year. This regularity indicates consistent road use rather than long periods of stagnation, which is often beneficial for the preservation of seals, bushings, and braking components. The intervals between tests are also uniform, suggesting a predictable and disciplined ownership history. While the digital record shows no recorded faults, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on common wear points for a Mondeo of this age and mileage. Examine the front suspension specifically for perished rubber control arm bushes or worn coil springs, as these components frequently fatigue on high-mileage examples. Check the brake discs for uneven wear or deep ridging, as the MOT only tests for functional efficiency rather than surface condition. Given the high total mileage, a close inspection of the underbody for corrosion on the sills and rear subframe is essential. Although no structural failures were flagged to date, structural integrity can degrade over a decade of road salt. The clean MOT history reflects a high standard of care, but the buyer must still verify the service history to ensure oil changes and timing belt replacements have been performed according to recommended intervals.
