Re HJ's comment about rust in the doors, Ford had a faulty batch of sealer (runs around the inside edge of the door), if this starts to come away corrosion can set in underneath however the Mondeo is galvanised so is likely only to be minor before it is noticed. Nevertheless Ford have taken it seriously and, if effected, replaced doors under warranty, no quibble.

If you want a petrol Mondeo why not go for the 2.0, more gutsy, feels a lot quicker, just as economical, insurance might be slightly higher, no real difference in value at 2 plus years old.
