Mondeo mk2 tips

[Mike V]

Evening all,

My dad and myself are looking at a Mondeo mk2 tomorrow morning. I wondered if anyone could give any pointers on things to look for?

I have asked on the Mondeo forum but haven't had any replies, must be a quiet night, and seeing as we are heading out tomorrow morning to look at one I thought I would ask here as a last ditch attempt.

The car details:

2000 Mondeo Ghia
2.0 auto
47k

There is no service history which is slightly suspicious but the car is MINT

:unsure: we are unsure on what to do. Any tips/advice greatly received.

to be fair chap, its just general stuff, fairly resonable car reall, make sure kick down works fine, suspension doesnt seem light at the front if it has a towbar fitted, very popular for towing caravans which can make the rear sit a bit lower than the front, and find out about the cambelt, its about the age to change even tho its got low mileage, remember to ask you might get a few quid off if you have gotta do it yourself, other than that, just everyday stuff like any other motor. hope that helps a little,

Thanks Garry, I have got a couple more replies on the mondeo forum now and they are supporting what you suggested. Much appreciated.

So, how did it go?

My only issue would be that 47K miles in 9 years seems a bit low?! Historically, Ford auto's have been a bit week in the past, so that would be my main area of concern
