The FORD MONDEO (2007-11) 5DR ESTATE 2.0 TDCI 140 EDGE is a large family estate: a practical, long-roof alternative to a saloon, built for carrying people and bulky luggage. In the UK used-car market, it sits among roomy mainstream cars rather than premium models, offering substantial space without a luxury-car price tag. The 2.0-litre diesel suits regular commuting, motorway journeys and family holidays, while the estate body is useful for pushchairs, pets, sports kit or work gear. It is best for families and drivers who value comfort and versatility over a small car’s easy parking; compared with rivals such as the Volkswagen Passat Estate, it is known for generous cabin and boot space and composed, capable long-distance driving. mycarcheck.com records 185 look-ups across 142 VINs. Averages: £1,100 private-sale value, 169,000 miles, 3.3 previous keepers and 9,000 miles annually; check the specific car’s history and condition before making a buying decision.
