The FORD MONDEO (2007-11) 5DR ESTATE 2.0 TDCI DPF 140 EU5 ZETEC POWERSHIFT AUTO6 is a practical estate car, aimed at buyers needing more space than a hatchback without moving to an SUV. In the used market, it is an alternative to estates such as the Vauxhall Insignia and Volkswagen Passat. mycarcheck.com has recorded 14 checks covering eight distinct VINs, a snapshot rather than a large sample. The checks show an average private-sale value of £1,800, average recorded mileage of 127,000 miles and annual use of 7,000 miles. Vehicles averaged just under three previous keepers. It suits families, commuters and people carrying bulky kit, while the diesel engine and six-speed automatic make longer journeys relaxed; economy depends on condition and driving. The Mondeo estate is also known for generous cabin and boot space, plus composed road manners that give it a comfortable, capable feel. Check service history and condition on older examples.
