The FORD MONDEO (2000-07) 5DR ESTATE 2.0 TDCI 115 ZETEC is a large family estate, offering a roomy cabin and generous load space. In the UK, it was a mainstream alternative to estate versions of the Vauxhall Vectra and Volkswagen Passat. Its 2.0-litre diesel makes it suited to commuting, longer trips and family duties, while the estate shape helps with holidays, pets and bulky shopping. Zetec is a practical everyday trim, and the Mondeo is best for buyers who value space and comfort at a modest used-car price. As with any older car, check condition and service history carefully. Mycarcheck.com recorded six checks covering four distinct VINs, a small sample, so figures are indicative rather than a market-wide guide. The average private-sale valuation was £400, with average recorded mileage of 156,000 miles, annual mileage of 2,000 and 4.3 previous keepers. Its spacious, comfortable character is the Mondeo estate’s lasting appeal.
