A full used buyer\u2019s guide on the Ford Mondeo covering the Mk4 Mondeo that was on sale between 2014 and 2022<\/h2>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Verdict<\/h2>\n

In recent years Ford has produced some of the most dynamically capable family cars on sale, and while the Mondeo Mk4\u00a0was okay to drive, it was no class leader. When we ran a 2.0 TDCi on our test fleet we were disappointed by the so-so build quality, as well as the ride and handling, after the dynamic brilliance of previous Mondeos. But there are plenty of other reasons to buy a Mondeo, including the roomy cabin, big boot capacity, generous equipment levels and affordable pricing. More than 85 per cent of Mondeos were run as company cars, so some examples may not have been cherished, but if you\u2019re diligent with your checks and you find a good one (happily, there are lots about), this is still a very desirable family car.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s 30 years since the Ford Mondeo reached UK showrooms, but while it was once one of the most popular cars on our roads (almost 130,000 were sold here in the first year), the final example was made in 2022, with the firm\u2019s large family car a victim of brand snobbery and changing tastes.<\/p>\n

That first-generation Mondeo helped to change perceptions of Ford, with buyers and reviewers alike deeply impressed by the car\u2019s dynamic abilities, as well as its practicality and value. As the Mondeo got older, it started to be affected by middle-age spread, with everything getting bigger and heavier, but this was still a very likeable car that stayed true to its roots. But while you can no longer buy a new Mondeo in the UK, is it worth considering a used example?<\/p>\n

History<\/h2>\n

The Mk4 Mondeo went on sale in the UK in September 2014, in hatchback and estate forms. Buyers could pick from 1.5 and 2.0-litre EcoBoost turbocharged petrol engines, or 1.6 and 2.0 TDCi diesels.<\/p>\n
