Ford Mondeo Estate ST 220

Remember when Mondeo Man started hitting the gym and got in shape? Don’t let this Estate’s somewhat tame styling fool you: under its bonnet is a 3.0-litre V6 making 223bhp and 210lb ft. Those are modern hot hatch numbers, and its 6.6sec 0-62mph time isn’t far off either. Sadly, clean ST 220s are few and far between these days, with most having ended up on the wrong side of a hedge, the scrapyard gate or the law, so this 2006 car’s sub-£4000 valuation doesn’t seem unreasonable, especially as it’s bound to shoot up in the near future.
