2013 Ford Mondeo 1.6L Diesel · YS62 HCL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent testing data. The latest MOT test, conducted on 11 August 2025 at 115,201 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2024 and 2022, suggesting that the mechanical integrity of the Ford Mondeo has remained consistent over the last several years. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,862 miles per year. Between August 2022 and August 2024, the car covered 21,396 miles, while the more recent 9,813 miles were recorded between the 2024 and 2025 tests. This regular pattern of use is generally beneficial for older vehicles as it prevents the seal degradation and brake corrosion often associated with long periods of standing. The single failure recorded on 16 August 2023 at 94,805 miles was rectified instantly to pass the very following day, indicating a minor issue that was addressed immediately rather than a chronic mechanical failure. While the digital record shows no ongoing advisories, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear components typical for this age and mileage. Given the 115,000-mile mark, the suspension bushes and coil springs should be checked for cracking or premature fatigue. It is also necessary to inspect the underside for structural corrosion, particularly the sills and wheel arches, as the MOT does not flag surface rust until it affects structural integrity. The lack of recorded brake or tyre advisories suggests the previous owners maintained the consumables effectively.
