For The Ford Mondeo 1.6 120 Edge is the cheapest way into a Mondeo Estate. This version is only available in entry-level Edge trim, but you still get alloys, air-con, stability control and seven airbags.

Against Not much power means not much performance – especially if you’re lugging heavy loads. The punchier 2.0-litre petrol engine doesn’t use much more fuel.

The Ford Mondeo 1.6 120 Edge is the cheapest Mondeo Estate, and worth a look if you don’t do many miles. Comes with a decent amount of kit, but isn’t exactly nippy.

Buyer's notes

Target Price team says:

With so many Mondeos likely to be bought with company money and pounded up and down the country's motorway network, good fuel consumption and low company car tax liability are vitally important. That means we prefer the punchy and frugal diesel-powered versions.

The 113bhp 1.6 diesel engine is just about man enough for the job of hauling the huge Mondeo around, and it gives stunning economy. However, most people will prefer the extra pulling power of the 138bhp 2.0 diesel, which itself is impressively efficient, and suits the car perfectly. By comparison, the smaller petrol engines seem to struggle to shift the car.

Trim-wise, you're best off sticking with lower trims, such as Zetec or Edge, which give you all the most important bits of kit as standard.
