The FORD MONDEO (2000-07) 5DR ESTATE 2.0 TDCI 130 GHIA 6SP is a roomy family estate from Ford’s large-car range, offering five doors and generous space for passengers and luggage. It suits family holidays, shopping, work trips and regular commuting, especially for buyers who need more carrying room than a hatchback but want an everyday car rather than an SUV. The 2.0-litre diesel is intended for relaxed long-distance use, while the six-speed manual helps make motorway journeys comfortable. Ghia trim gives this Mondeo a more upmarket feel than basic versions, and its spacious, practical layout made it a strong alternative to estate versions of the Vauxhall Vectra and Volkswagen Passat. It is best for drivers valuing room and usefulness over a newer-car feel. mycarcheck.com records 106 checks across 46 VINs: average mileage is 144,000, value £600, and previous keepers 5.4, so inspect history carefully.
