The FORD MONDEO (2007-11) 4DR SALOON 1.8 TDCI 125 TITANIUM X 6SPD is a roomy, four-door family saloon from Ford’s large-car range. In the UK, it sits among practical alternatives to the Volkswagen Passat and Vauxhall Insignia, offering a traditional booted-saloon shape rather than a hatchback or SUV. Its 1.8-litre diesel engine and six-speed manual gearbox make it well suited to longer commutes, motorway journeys and family travel, while the Titanium X trim gives it a generously equipped feel. The Mondeo is known for a comfortable ride, generous cabin space and composed road manners, qualities that helped it stand out in its class. mycarcheck.com has recorded 23 look-ups covering 16 distinct VINs, a modest sample.
