The FORD MONDEO (2000-07) 5DR HATCHBACK 2.0 TDCI 115 GRAPHITE is a large family hatchback from the Mondeo’s third-generation range, offering more room and comfort than a typical small hatch. In the UK used-car market, it sits among practical, affordable family cars, competing with the Volkswagen Passat, Vauxhall Vectra and Peugeot 406. With five doors, a generous cabin and a useful boot, this diesel Mondeo suits families, regular commuters and drivers needing space for longer journeys. The 115bhp engine is aimed at balanced everyday driving, while diesel economy and relaxed road manners make it a sensible alternative to petrol family cars. It is larger and more comfortable than many compact hatchbacks, though less fashionable than newer rivals. mycarcheck.com recorded 64 look-ups across 50 distinct VINs for this model overall. Average figures are 129,000 miles, 6,000 miles yearly, 3.7 previous keepers and a £400 private-sale valuation, making condition and history essential for used-car buyers.
