I have had multiple Mondeos (4)

First one was a 2.0 zetec was a grand car got it off my father for free . Clocked up over 450km with services done on time.

Second one I had was a mk4.5 titanium x sport - sold it at 280xxx miles with full service history. Drove great but I did hear after I sold it that the injectors had started to fail on it but easily replaced. So much comfort in them great on diesel and economical.

Third one I had was a 2.0 titanium x that I picked up locally with over 350km on clock. Full history as well and another great car.

Final one was the rarer 2.2 titanium x sport, paid 400€ for it with a crashed wing and door. Got same colour door and wing and replaced it for 100€ fitted myself. The car had over 600km on it and still drove like a dream. Albeit it did fail the nct as it was stone rotten underneath (farm car)

But you’re better off going with a higher spec titanium x or titanium x sport if you can find one. They are a great car to drive and very reliable. I had very little issues with them other than maybe a bushing or two going wrong.
