The FORD MONDEO (2000-07) 5DR HATCHBACK 2.0 TDCI 130 ZETEC is a roomy family hatchback from Ford’s mainstream range. It offers more comfort than a small hatchback, while being easier to live with than an SUV. In the UK, it became a good-value alternative to pricier executive cars for families. mycarcheck.com records 106 checks across 82 distinct VINs. Average private-sale valuation is £400, recorded mileage 134,000, and annual mileage 9,000. The cars average just over four previous keepers. These figures describe the checked sample, not every Mondeo, so review each car’s history and condition carefully before making a purchase decision. This diesel Zetec suits families, commuters and regular-distance drivers, offering a roomy cabin, five-door access and relaxed road manners. Its 130-horsepower engine feels confident, while comfort and space made the Mondeo a strong rival to the Vauxhall Vectra and Volkswagen Passat. When buying used, prioritise service history and condition carefully.
