The FORD MONDEO (2000-07) 5DR HATCHBACK 3.0 V6 204 GHIA X is a large, five-door family hatchback from Ford’s mainstream range, with an upmarket Ghia X finish and a powerful petrol V6. It offered generous cabin and luggage space, sitting among practical alternatives to the Vauxhall Vectra and Volkswagen Passat. This Mondeo suits families needing room, as well as drivers wanting comfortable commuting and long-distance travel. The 3.0-litre engine gives the Ghia X stronger, smoother performance than family versions, while its equipment adds a more luxurious feel. In return, running costs and fuel use may be higher than smaller-engined rivals. mycarcheck.com has six checks covering six separate cars, so this is a small snapshot: average recorded mileage is 96,000, annual mileage 5,000, and previous keepers just under four. Its average private-sale valuation is £800. These figures describe checked examples, not every car; condition and history matter especially at this age.
