The FORD MONDEO (2007-11) 5DR ESTATE 2.0 TDCI DPF 163 EU5 ZETEC POWERSHIFT AUTO6 is a mid-size family estate, offering more luggage space than a hatchback without moving into SUV territory. In the UK market, it is a popular alternative to estate rivals such as the Vauxhall Insignia and Passat. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 23 checks across 17 different VINs, a snapshot rather than a huge sample. Those checks show an average private-sale valuation of £1,900 and average recorded mileage of 118,000 miles. Average annual mileage is 7,000 miles, while cars had 4.6 previous keepers, so condition and history deserve attention. The diesel engine and automatic gearbox suit commutes and family holidays, while the estate body accommodates luggage, pushchairs and shopping. Zetec offers an appealing everyday balance, and the Mondeo is valued against rivals for generous cabin space and comfortable long-distance travel. Check servicing, gearbox operation and diesel-system history before buying.
