2012 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · YP62 ACO

This vehicle presents an exceptionally clean MOT history, indicating a stable and well-maintained mechanical condition. The most recent test on 27 October 2025 at 143,093 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the record shows a failure on the same day, the lack of listed defects suggests a clerical error or a minor administrative issue rather than a mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with the age of the car. Between 31 October 2022 at 117,259 miles and 27 October 2025 at 143,093 miles, the vehicle covered 25,834 miles. This averages roughly 8,600 miles per year over the last three years, which is slightly below the overall lifetime average of 10,221 miles per year. There are no erratic jumps in mileage that would suggest periods of neglect or sudden heavy commercial use. The absence of any advisories or failures across the last four years is unusual for a 14-year-old Ford Mondeo. Most vehicles of this vintage typically show wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, or evidence of corrosion on the sills and chassis. This clean record implies a proactive approach to maintenance by the previous owners, as common consumables like brake discs and tyres appear to have been replaced before they reached a failure threshold. A physical inspection should still focus on areas the MOT test may overlook or that develop rapidly. Check for oil leaks around the engine seals and inspect the condition of the timing belt and water pump, as these are critical service items not flagged during a standard MOT. Verify the service history for evidence of fluid changes to ensure the mechanical health matches the clean DVSA record.
