2013 Ford Mondeo 1.6L Diesel · YP63 LSV

The 2013 Ford Mondeo cleared its most recent MOT on 17 July 2025 at 99,308 miles, confirming it is road‑worthy today. The pattern of MOT results shows a stable trend: three successive passes with no recorded defects (2023‑2025) follow only advisory items in 2022 and 2021, suggesting that any earlier issues have been addressed. Mileage has risen from 89,840 miles in July 2021 to 99,308 miles in July 2025, an average increase of roughly 2,200 miles per year. This equates to about 7,600 miles annually over the vehicle’s 13‑year life, which sits comfortably within typical usage for a car of this age. No sudden spikes or large gaps appear in the record; each yearly test shows a modest, consistent progression in mileage. The 2022 MOT flagged rear suspension arm pins or bushes on both sides as worn, though not yet causing excessive movement, and noted thin rear brake pads. A buyer should therefore feel the rear suspension for any play, listen for clunking over bumps, and confirm that bushings are still firm. Inspect the rear brake discs for scoring and verify pad thickness, as the earlier thin‑pad advisory may indicate accelerated wear. Tyre tread was close to the legal limit in 2021; confirm current tread depth and look for uneven wear that could point to alignment or suspension issues. Finally, a visual check for corrosion on the chassis, especially around the rear suspension mounting points, will help ensure structural integrity has remained sound. Verifying that the exhaust system is intact and that there are no leaks will complete a thorough pre‑purchase assessment.
