Used Ford Mondeo cars

The ever-popular Ford Mondeo enjoys the prestige of being one of the most iconic and renowned vehicles in the manufacturer’s range. The Mondeo was introduced to the executive and family markets back in 1993. In 2023, the fourth generation of the model was released. Competition from the likes of the Škoda Superb, Volkswagen Passat and Mazda6 has done nothing to diminish the Ford Mondeo’s place in the sector, with the vehicle scooping numerous awards over the years such as the European Car of the Year (1994) title, Top Gear’s Car of the Year (2007) and What Car? Best Family Car (2012 and 2013).

Ford Mondeo updates and facelifts

The Mondeo has evolved through a selection of iterations and facelifts to be the modern saloon vehicle we see today. The Mk2 hit the roads in 1996 and saw considerable growth in size with the launch of the Mk3 in 2000. But it’s the Mk4 and Mk5 models, which launched in 2007 and 2014 respectively, that really added to the Mondeo’s appeal. It incorporated fresh design cues, cutting-edge technology and improved performance. In fact, the most recent editions of the Mondeo have been equipped with the latest in self-charging hybrid technology too, embracing the best the automotive world has to offer.

In addition to the iconic saloon-style design, this model is also available in estate version making it a strong contender in the family saloon/estate market.

With its increased boot capacity complementing the already capacious cabin, this option represents the perfect family model. It provides space for luggage, shopping and even the family dog. You can also expand the boot to 1,630 litres of space with the rear seats folded flat.

When opting for any of the Ford Mondeo vehicles currently available in the used car market, you can purchase knowing you’re securing a capable and impressive performer in every respect. A variety of trim levels add a different character, while the petrol, diesel and hybrid engine options – not to mention manual and automatic transmissions – ensure there’s a Mondeo to match your needs.

Practicality and style of the car

Investing in a used Ford Mondeo represents an investment in premium quality. Regardless of whether it’s an Mk3 or Mk4 edition, this iconic vehicle is smooth and hardworking, refined in its performance and packed with technology. That is why the vehicle has such an enduring legacy in supporting business executives and family drivers alike. The Ford Mondeo exudes practicality like no other in its class.

Since the introduction of the third-generation Mondeo, the model is wider and taller. These changes meant increased head and legroom throughout the vehicle, making the model more spacious than prestigious rivals such as the Audi A6, BMW 5 Series, and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class. Not only that, but there’s a quality feel throughout the cabin, with the soft-touch materials and ample padding ensuring that the model is a comfortable and peaceful one to travel in.

For those with young – or even older – children in the rear, there’s no shortage of room either. Three tall adults can sit on the back seat without compromising legroom. ISOFIX fixtures on the outer rear seats enable safe and secure child seat support, while the 525-litre boot space of the saloon is more than enough to accommodate prams and pushchairs alongside the weekly shop. What’s more, a maximum braked towing capacity of 2,000kg on selected trims means towing a caravan or trailer is easy.

Running costs

The Ford Mondeo sits in insurance groups 15 to 31 (out of 50), with selected fourth-generation models such as the Zetec Edition 1.0T EcoBoost not exceeding group 15. Similarly, road tax costs will range from free to £290 annually. You’ll pay the higher amount for the 2.0 EcoBoost Titanium trim, whereas you won’t need to pay any road tax for certain ECOnetic trims.

How a used Ford Mondeo drives

A wealth of engine options and power outputs ensures that the Ford Mondeo is certain to have a solution to meet your motoring demands. Petrol, diesel and hybrid options are all available for those in the Mk4 lineup – a comprehensive selection that offers plenty of power, acceleration, efficiency, and cleanliness. Take, for example, the 2.0-litre petrol-electric hybrid engine. This combination produces power of 185bhp, can achieve up to 67.3mpg, and emits just 99g/km of CO2.

If you’re seeking a more traditional combustion engine option, there are 1.0-litre, 1.5-litre and 2.0-litre petrol models to choose from, alongside 2.0-litre diesel powertrains that offer great fuel economy and pack plenty of punch. Even the most basic 1.0-litre EcoBoost petrol provides 123bhp of power and up to 54.3mpg, while the more frugal 2.0-litre TDCi 150 ECOnetic edition achieves a wallet-friendly 54.3mpg. You can also choose from a number of four-wheel drivetrains that will help deliver improved power distribution and handling.

Complementing the array of engine options is the Mondeo’s electric power-steering system for effortless driving. Automatic and manual transmissions are also incorporated to let you seamlessly move through the gears, with the option of an advanced PowerShift transmission which pre-selects the next gear without any loss of power during changes.
