The FORD MONDEO (2000-07) 5DR ESTATE 3.0 V6 204 GHIA X is a large, five-door family estate from Ford’s mainstream range, offering more load space than the Mondeo saloon. In the UK used-car market, it sits as a practical, well-equipped alternative to estate rivals such as the Vauxhall Vectra and Volkswagen Passat. This high-specification Ghia X pairs generous comfort and a roomy cabin with a smooth, powerful V6, making it appealing for relaxed long journeys and family trips with luggage. It is less suited to buyers prioritising low running costs: the larger petrol engine is thirstier than smaller Mondeo versions, while its size favours open roads over tight city parking. mycarcheck.com has just three checks across two VINs, making figures indicative: average private-sale value was £600, recorded mileage 177,000, annual mileage 3,000 and three previous keepers.
