I bought a new 2002 Mondeo Estate Ghia X 2litre diesel. I ran it for 75,000 miles and gave it to my son. He ran it for a further 70,000 miles and traded it in. Other than service parts the only work needed was a new fuel pump and a new radio. A brilliant car and good value for money.

The last Mondeo I owned was a 2006 2.0 tdci bought for £750 in 2015. It had less than 100k on it and I thought I'd bagged a real bargain. When I drove it home I noticed a slight rattle so the next day I took it to my mechanic and found out it had a broken spring. I also discovered that the flywheel was on it's way out so straight away £1300 for a new flywheel, clutch and a front spring. About a week later it went into limp mode as I was overtaking and nearly killed me. This was something that happened almost every time I drove the car I actually kept the car for 3 years clocking up 150k but despite dozens of trips to different mechanics I never found out why it kept going into limp mode?

This is positive proof that if a car is decent in the first place, and is then maintained properly, it will last and will pass an (advisory free) MOT 19 years later!! I’ve had 2 models of these and they’re great cars, very underrated. Great video as always Matt, thank you…👍😊

The fact it had no corrosion is it's main selling point. Rot and the flashing glow plug light usually mean the end for these.

Oh this one was a trip down memory lane. My father had a very similar one (2.0l Ghia Automatic from 2000 or 2001). He bought it new and sadly enough was too damaged after a crash in 2018. It was a great car. I remember the press at the time stating it actually drove quite well. Anyways, glad to see there is life left in this one!

I have owned my 2002 hatch since 2007. Still going strong. Spent a small fortune last year but happy I did. It suits my needs exactly. Will miss this car if I ever have to let it go. Glad to see your example lives on.

My late father had a Mondeo as a company car and when my Sister was learning to drive she would practice in it going around a supermarket car park. It was a green one.

Had a friend that had a US Modeo and vacationed in Scotland, rented a Mondeo and said it was much better.

Love those types of videos

I know many people turn their noses up at the Mondeo but after fifty years of driving various cars I can honestly say that my Mondeo has been the most reliable I've had. Straight through the MOT for the last 8 years with only the odd tyre required.

Mondeo was 'Car of the Year' winner for most years. Great cars.

Lovely cars these. Still look fresh to this day imo. Crackin' purchase you got there.

Mate, an old shed and a listen to you ramble through your memories, 25 minutes well spent. Thanks for the video!

I love the fact that you're using the Berlingo!

I did think at the start of the video, that this Mondeo would be destined for the scrapyard, I don’t like to see any car scrapped, so I’m glad it’s going to a new home. Great video, as always Matt❤.

Love your opinion on sunglasses etiquette Matt, couldn't agree more.

Another fabulous find. It is amazing where these survivors come from. I'm sure this will go as quick as it turned up

loving the slow slide into unfettered partridge.

Another great video 👍

Hi there I'm an avid watcher of your videos and I gotta say I really love how you drop idioms and expressions every now and then. "gotta make hay while the sun shines". As English is not my 1st language, I found those really amusing.

Thank you! 😃

Great job on cupboard door dave looks better than factory we at home this weekend Newark-on-Trent go away Saturday 1st to Weymouth for the week

Enjoyed that, cheera Matt, great car

Good to see you finally pick up a winner Mat. Youre bang on about covid prices too. They have softwned s little of late, but still heavily inflated compared to pre covid values!

As always Matt👍 btw love Mondeos as you know. You can never go wrong with a Mondeo made for high mileage and penny pocket part replacement👍👍
