The FORD MONDEO (2010-15) 5DR ESTATE 1.6 120 EU5 GRAPHITE is a large family estate, offering the extra luggage space of a wagon rather than the compact shape of a hatchback. In the UK used-car market, it sits among practical, comfortable alternatives to the Volkswagen Passat and Vauxhall Insignia, with room for everyday family life and longer trips. The 1.6-litre petrol engine and 120 horsepower are aimed at relaxed, straightforward driving, while the estate body makes it useful for school runs, commuting, holidays and carrying bulky shopping. It is best suited to families or drivers who value space and comfort over a small car’s easy parking; the Graphite trim adds an appealing specification, and the Mondeo is known for a composed ride and generous cabin. mycarcheck.com’s two checks covered two VINs: average private-sale value £4,600, mileage 65,000, annual mileage 5,000 and 1.5 previous keepers. Treat these as indicative sample figures.
