General Comments:
Got a really good deal on this Mondeo due to its high mileage. It had full service history and MOT at a nice price. Drove great on the test drive. So that's why I bought it.
Highly likely it was a taxi in its early years. These cars take high mileage well, but obviously you have to expect some expensive repairs at some point. I don't regret my purchase, but it has been expensive to put right.
Interior has held up well, some wear here and there, but pretty solid for an 8 year old car with 180K on it. Titanium model is very comfortable with lots of equipment.
Looks good in black metallic on the exterior. Lots of stone chips on the front bumper and bonnet due to miles and miles of motorway travel.
The car is nice to drive, punchy engine and still does 50 mpg + on diesel.
Time will tell if it lasts, feels very modern, but it should, it is only a 2016 car, not exactly ancient, but I am just being realistic about the mileage. If I get a couple more years from it I will be happy. Tax and insurance are cheap and it is economical, plus I got it really cheap to begin with, so now going forwards it is about avoiding expensive bills. I've serviced it and it's had all required belt changes so fingers crossed it will last; I do like this car despite its roughness.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

They are nice cars, look after them and they should not give too much trouble. My friend has a diesel 2015 Mondeo as a taxi with 170,000 miles on it still going strong!
