The FORD MONDEO (2000-07) 5DR ESTATE 2.0 ZETEC S AUTO4 is a roomy, mid-size family estate from Ford’s Mondeo range, offering a practical alternative to a saloon or hatchback. Its long load area and automatic gearbox make it suited to everyday errands, school runs and longer journeys, while the Zetec S trim gives it a sportier look than a basic family wagon. Compared with rivals such as the Vauxhall Vectra and Volkswagen Passat, the Mondeo is known as a comfortable, capable all-rounder with useful space and composed road manners. This automatic 2.0-litre estate can appeal to families, commuters and drivers wanting one versatile used car; its age means condition and service history deserve careful attention, and economy may be less compelling than smaller cars. mycarcheck.com has just two look-ups, covering one VIN, so figures are indicative: average valuation £600, recorded mileage 95,000, annual use 8,000 miles and seven previous keepers.
