The FORD MONDEO (2000-07) 4DR SALOON 2.5 V6 170 ZETEC S 6SP is a spacious, four-door family saloon from Ford’s popular Mondeo range. In the UK, the Mondeo traditionally offered roomy practicality and comfort at an affordable price, competing with models such as the Vauxhall Vectra and Volkswagen Passat. This V6 Zetec S version adds a more lively character than everyday smaller-engined saloons. It’s best suited to families, regular commuters and drivers wanting a comfortable, capable car for longer journeys, rather than a low-cost first car. The 2.5-litre petrol V6 brings smooth, strong performance and a distinctive feel, while the saloon’s separate boot keeps luggage secure. Expect higher fuel use than smaller petrol or diesel rivals. mycarcheck.com recorded 44 look-ups across just five VINs, so figures are indicative: average private-sale value was £700, mileage 57,000 and annual use 5,000 miles.
