The FORD MONDEO (2000-07) 5DR HATCHBACK 2.5 V6 170 ZETEC S 6SP is a large family hatchback from Ford’s mainstream range, offering more space and comfort than a small hatchback while staying practical for daily use. Its five-door layout eases access, and Zetec S adds a sportier character. mycarcheck.com records 17 look-ups covering 10 VINs, a small snapshot rather than a complete picture. Checked cars averaged £600 private-sale valuation, 124,000 miles and 4,000 miles driven annually. They had about seven previous keepers on average, so ownership histories deserve careful checking. With its V6 and six-speed gearbox, this Mondeo suits drivers wanting relaxed, roomy long-distance travel with a little extra performance, rather than the lowest running costs. It competes with family favourites such as the Vauxhall Vectra and Volkswagen Passat, and stands out for its spacious cabin and enjoyable drive. Check condition, service records and history carefully before buying.
