The FORD MONDEO (2000-07) 5DR HATCHBACK 2.2 TDCI 155 GHIA is a large family hatchback, offering the space and comfort expected of a family car rather than the compact feel of a city model. Its five-door layout makes loading passengers and luggage straightforward, while the Ghia version sits towards the better-equipped end of the Mondeo range. With its strong diesel engine and relaxed road manners, this Mondeo is well suited to commuting, long-distance travel and family duties. It is a sensible choice for drivers wanting useful space and motorway comfort, though its size and age may make it less appealing for new drivers or mainly urban use. In its class, it competed with cars such as the Vauxhall Vectra and Volkswagen Passat, and is remembered for composed handling and generous cabin room. Mycarcheck’s 35 checks across 28 VINs show £1,000 average value, 135,000 miles and nearly four keepers.
