The FORD MONDEO (2000-07) 5DR HATCHBACK 3.0 V6 226 ST220 6SP is a large family hatchback with a sporting edge, positioned in the mainstream UK used-car market today. Its roomy cabin and practical boot suit families, commuters and longer journeys, while the ST220’s bold character distinguishes it from ordinary rivals. Unlike a standard Mondeo, this high-performance version pairs a powerful V6 with a six-speed gearbox, giving acceleration and an engaging drive. It is best for buyers who value character and pace over low running costs: fuel use is higher than family-focused rivals, and age means condition matters more than reputation. mycarcheck.com records 1,173 checks covering 460 distinct VINs, a substantial sample for this specific model. Checks show an average private-sale value of £2,100 and recorded mileage of 116,000 miles; annual mileage averages 4,000. Nearly six previous keepers on average makes checking service history, ownership changes and current condition particularly worthwhile.
