The FORD MONDEO (2000-07) 5DR HATCHBACK 3.0 V6 204 ZETEC S is a roomy family hatchback from Ford’s mainstream range. It offers useful everyday space and a sportier flavour than ordinary Mondeos, while remaining a practical alternative to premium executive cars. mycarcheck.com records 11 look-ups covering four distinct VINs, so the sample is small. Within it, the average private-sale valuation is £600 and average recorded mileage is 147,000 miles; reported annual use averages 2,000 miles, with about 3.7 previous keepers. These figures describe checked examples, not a guaranteed price or condition. With its 3.0-litre V6, the Mondeo should appeal to drivers who value smooth, lively performance and relaxed longer journeys; the trade-off is likely higher fuel costs than smaller-engined family rivals. Its five-door layout suits couples or families needing usable luggage space, while the Zetec S badge brings a sportier image. Check each car’s history and condition carefully before buying.
