The FORD MONDEO (2000-07) 5DR ESTATE 2.0 TD GHIA is a roomy, mainstream family estate, offering more load space than a saloon without the bulk of an SUV. It suits family trips and everyday carrying, and traditionally competed with the Vauxhall Vectra and Volkswagen Passat estates for UK buyers then. Its 2.0-litre diesel suits drivers covering regular longer journeys, while the Ghia grade adds a more comfort-focused feel than basic versions. This older Mondeo is best for buyers wanting useful space and relaxed everyday transport on a tight budget rather than a low-mileage modern car, with careful checks before purchase. Mycarcheck.com recorded 13 look-ups across 10 different VINs, so these figures offer a small snapshot, not a market-wide verdict. The checked cars averaged 149,000 miles, about 5,000 miles a year, and nearly four previous keepers; average private-sale valuation was £400. At this age, check condition carefully before you buy.
