The Mondeo is gone. But definitely not forgotten. PistonHeads SOTW
If there was some sort of graph or index to illustrate the correlation between road test reviews and actual real-life ownership, Ford's Mondeo would very likely be at the pooey end of the line. For those who only drove Mondeos when they were new, i.e.
Two decades later, in 1982, the Cortina was replaced by the Sierra. Ten years after that, in 1992, the Mondeo replaced the Sierra. Now, after three more decades and four generations, the Mondeo has kicked the bucket, the last example coming off the Valencia production line just four days before the story you're reading went live.
This is the first gen-three Mondeo we've had in here. In 2010, when it was new, a 2.0 TDCi Zetec estate like this would have cost £20k-plus. It might not have been the last word in dynamic excellence but it was extremely comfortable, arguably the most comfy car in the class, in fact, and in Zetec guise it came with plenty of kit - a lot more than you would get in a similarly priced BMW 318d, for example.
You'd think car companies might have spent some money on researching that as a credible system of diagnostic certainty would have wrung quite a lot of money out of nervous motorists keen to fill their boots with mobility-guaranteeing spare parts. Even if the part didn't blow, well, better safe than sorry, and if your original parts lasted longer than predicted, well, that was a good ad for the quality of your original parts wasn't it.
