The FORD MONDEO (2007-11) 5DR ESTATE 2.5T 220 TITANIUM 6SPD is a large family estate, offering a roomy, practical alternative to an SUV. In the UK used-car market, it is a mainstream choice for families and long-distance drivers needing space and comfort, competing with the Vauxhall Vectra and Volkswagen Passat. Under the bonnet, the turbocharged 2.5-litre petrol engine gives this Titanium lively performance, while the six-speed manual keeps the drive involving. Its generous cabin and boot suit family duties, commuting and holidays, especially for drivers who want motorway comfort with useful carrying capacity. Fuel use is likely less appealing than in smaller-engined or diesel estates, so match it to your budget. mycarcheck.com recorded 10 look-ups across seven VINs, a small sample: average mileage was 146,000, with 5,000 miles driven yearly and 2.6 previous keepers.
