Ford Mondeo Estate Review

Running Costs5 out of 5

It won't get any cheaper than this, for a car in this sector. Insurance groupings are lower than ever, thanks to lower accident repair costs; the tax bandings are relatively low; and Ford also reckons that this Mondeo will hold its value better than before, especially in diesel estate form. Ford's main dealer servicing and maintenance costs are lower than average, though most jobs can be carried out by independent garages anyway. Fuel consumption and carbon dioxide outputs are 3-10% better than their equivalents from the outgoing range; the 2.5 turbo returns a respectable 30.4mpg and the 2.0 TDCi 47.9mpg.
