The FORD MONDEO (2007-11) 4DR SALOON 1.8 TDCI 125 ZETEC 6SPD is a spacious, mid-size family saloon, offering a more traditional boot than the Mondeo hatchback. It sits in the UK’s large-car market, where it has appealed to drivers wanting room and comfort without stepping up to a premium badge. In mycarcheck.com records, 17 checks covered 12 different cars, a useful snapshot rather than a huge sample. These cars averaged 129,000 miles, 7,000 miles a year, and nearly three previous keepers. The average private-sale valuation was £1,200, so condition and history matter greatly when comparing individual cars. The 1.8-litre diesel suits commuters and families covering longer journeys, with a six-speed gearbox and roomy feel making everyday travel straightforward. Zetec trim offers equipment, while the saloon’s boot suits luggage. Against rivals such as the Vauxhall Insignia and Volkswagen Passat, the Mondeo is known for comfort, space and value in its class.
