The FORD MONDEO (2000-07) 5DR ESTATE 2.2 TDCI 155 ST is a large, five-door diesel estate: a practical family car rather than an SUV or city runabout. In the UK, Mondeos were popular alternatives to the Vauxhall Vectra and Volkswagen Passat, offering generous space and a more engaging, confident feel on longer journeys. Its roomy load area suits family holidays, sports gear and everyday errands, while the ST trim gives this Mondeo estate a sportier character than a basic workhorse. The 2.2-litre diesel is best for drivers covering regular longer trips; its size and age may be less convenient for tight urban parking or short, stop-start journeys. Mycarcheck.com recorded 78 checks across 19 distinct VINs, a useful snapshot rather than a whole-market survey. These cars averaged 159,000 miles, 6,000 miles annually and nearly seven previous keepers; the average private-sale valuation was £800, so check each car’s condition and history carefully.
