The FORD MONDEO (2000-07) 4DR SALOON 3.0 V6 226 ST220 6SP is a roomy, four-door family saloon with a distinctly sporty side. As the performance flagship of its Mondeo generation, it sits above ordinary family transport, offering a powerful V6 and six-speed manual feel in a practical, understated package. In the UK, it competes with quick versions of the Vauxhall Vectra and Volkswagen Passat. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 275 look-ups covering 85 distinct VINs, a useful snapshot rather than a full market census. Checks show an average private-sale valuation of £2,200, average recorded mileage of 107,000, around 3,000 miles driven yearly, and 5.6 previous keepers. It suits enthusiasts seeking family space and lively overtaking, not the lowest running costs, as fuel use exceeds a standard Mondeo. The ST220 pairs discreet styling with strong performance and composed manners. Check service history carefully: condition can vary considerably in these older cars today.
