The FORD MONDEO (2007-11) 4DR SALOON 2.3 160 EDGE AUTO6 is a four-door family saloon, with a separate boot rather than the hatchback’s lift-up rear door. It occupies the spacious, comfort-focused end of the family-car market, alongside the Vauxhall Vectra and Volkswagen Passat. Its 2.3-litre petrol engine and six-speed automatic are suited to relaxed journeys, while the roomy, comfortable cabin works well for commuters, couples and families. The saloon’s composed feel is a plus on motorways; expect less nimble parking and potentially higher fuel bills than with a smaller hatchback. mycarcheck.com has only two look-ups for this exact Mondeo, covering two VINs, so its figures are a small-sample guide, not a market-wide measure. They show an average private-sale value of £1,100, recorded mileage of 109,000 and annual use of 8,000 miles; cars averaged 3.5 previous keepers. Check each car’s history and condition.
