The FORD MONDEO (2000-07) 5DR HATCHBACK 2.0 TDCI 130 GHIA AUTO5 is a roomy, large family hatchback, sitting in the UK market between everyday family cars and more premium executive models. Its five-door layout makes access practical, while the Ghia badge signals a better-equipped version of Ford’s popular Mondeo. With a diesel engine and automatic gearbox, it suits longer commutes, regular motorway trips and family duties, especially for drivers who value relaxed, straightforward driving over a small car’s easy parking. The Mondeo was known for generous cabin space and comfortable road manners, making it a sensible alternative to rivals such as the Vauxhall Vectra and Volkswagen Passat. mycarcheck.com records 103 checks covering 28 different VINs; average private-sale value was £700, and typical recorded mileage was 113,000 miles.
