The FORD MONDEO (2000-07) 5DR HATCHBACK 2.0 TD ZETEC is a roomy, mid-size family hatchback from a time when practical five-door cars were popular alternatives to saloons and estates. Its diesel engine and generous cabin make it a sensible used choice for family duties, longer commutes and everyday errands. Mycarcheck.com records 60 look-ups covering 37 different VINs, giving a useful snapshot of surviving examples. Across those checks, average recorded mileage is 127,000 miles, with annual use averaging 6,000 miles; cars had around 3.6 previous keepers. The average private-sale valuation shown is £300, a data point rather than a guaranteed asking price. The Zetec-badged Mondeo is best for buyers wanting space and relaxed motorway manners without moving to an estate. It offers a more substantial feel than family hatchbacks and competes with cars such as the Vauxhall Vectra and Volkswagen Passat. Check condition and service history on an older diesel.
