The FORD MONDEO (2000-07) 5DR HATCHBACK 2.0 TDCI 115 ZETEC SN 6SP is a spacious, large family hatchback from Ford’s well-regarded Mondeo range. It sits above smaller family cars, offering useful room for passengers and luggage, while remaining more practical than a saloon thanks to its opening rear hatch. In the UK, it was a popular alternative to the Vauxhall Vectra and Volkswagen Passat. Mycarcheck.com recorded 45 look-ups covering 35 different VINs, a useful snapshot rather than a full-market survey. Across those checks, the average recorded mileage was 153,000, annual use averaged 8,000 miles and cars had about four previous keepers. The average private-sale valuation was £500, so condition and history matter greatly when assessing an example.

Against rivals, the Mondeo is known for practicality and composed road manners; check history and condition carefully.
