Im looking to buy a 1.5 diesel mondeo for Cab, is it reliable? The one I was looking is exactly like your one but with 162k milles and 2 owners only. What you think? Thanks
@ray9436 The 1.5 is probably a bit more reliable as we have one woth 180k with little service history and no problems 😂 the 1?6 does suffer from injector failure quite commonly, so just watch out
Has the mondeo ever being king of the minicabs?? They always chose the Avensis over the mondeo and later years the octavia and superb. Now most run small cramped corollas
Back when I first started on the cabs the mondeo was definitely the car of choice in my area... I've had the mk3, 4 and 5! It's only the past 3 or 4 years I've noticed a real shift towards hybrids tbh... We have 2 local suppliers to our trade though; a Settle company offering mostly mondeos, and a local taxi sales company mostly offering hyundais and kias... So it's probably mostly affected by that I guess

Personally I wouldn't buy a car with over 100k, especially to be used as a cab... but the mondeo is generally a pretty solid motor
@@TheChequeredFlagOriginal thanks. I Just found a 1.6 diesel mondeo, only 122k full services. Good price as well
That sounds like a better option tbf, after 3 years of cabbing it'll still be only just over 200k (unless you're gonna be doing mega hours lol)

Mines the 2ltr ,180bhp
That's definitely the better engine imo... the 1.5 is just too sluggish! What kind of mpg are you getting?
@@TheChequeredFlagOriginal about 47 ,just hit 300,000
Jeez that's some decent mileage! 47 is a decent figure too, better than the smaller 1.5!
Can’t beat an ioniq mate. Avg 65-70mpg
That's awesome mpg! And well priced, with no range issues 👍
