1995 Ford Mondeo Aspen review from UK and Ireland
"Comfortable, reliable, economical and cheap"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The bushes of the front suspension needed replacing for MOT, £40ish by the local independent garage.
A bit tired now it's reached 140000 miles and burns a fair amount of oil.
General comments?
Yes, yes, I know mondeos are not the most inspiring of vehicles, but if you need to travel 60 miles a day, everyday, on a budget, it's fantastic. Never failed to start, only wear and tear items have needed to be replaced, eg. bushes, oil filter, tyres. It's comfortable to sit in and easy to drive.
Admittedly, it's burning oil at a fair rate and the suspension's going soft, but it still keeps on going.
Can't give any opinion on dealers, but the mondeo enthusiasts group are happy to help out with advice if you have concerns or just want to know more about the car. I have been that impressed with the mondeo as a comfortable, reliable, economical and cheap cruiser that I've bought another one.
