The FORD MONDEO (2007-11) 5DR ESTATE 1.8 TDCI 100 EDGE is a spacious, five-door diesel estate, offering practical family-car room rather than the raised stance of an SUV. In the UK used-car market, it sits among affordable estates, appealing to drivers who need carrying space without moving to a van. mycarcheck.com has recorded 91 look-ups covering 49 different VINs, a useful sample of buyer interest. Its checks show an average private-sale value of £1,200 and average recorded mileage of 141,000 miles. Typical annual use is 7,000 miles, while cars averaged nearly four previous keepers, so check each car’s history carefully. That combination suits families, commuters and people carrying luggage, pets or gear. The Mondeo estate is known for boot space and a comfortable feel on journeys; against rivals such as the Vauxhall Vectra estate and Volkswagen Passat estate, it offers a practical alternative. Inspect condition and service records before buying.
