known issues are mainly electrical problems.

The 2L diesel should just be a steady reliable workhorse, it’s not powerful enough to have been ragged and raced everywhere.

As any car...If it’s been looked after it should be perfectly fine (French cars are excluded from this statement)

Had one years ago on an 04 plate , everything cost so much to replace if it went wrong, but was a nice entry level car into the luxury market at the time

Most uncomfortable car I ever had, drove it for 3 weeks and told my company I don’t want it and went back to my mondeo.

"Is it all wheel drive?"

Only the 2.5/3.0 petrol was 4wd. Diesels fwd only.

Ford underpinnings don't do it any favors sadly. Rust for fun underneath

Bought one just over a month ago. 2l diesel AWD. I love it. Problems - no coat hook, no auto folding mirrors. The remote AP kept crashing but is now fine. I can cope with the aforementioned problems.

I had a slightly earlier version which rusted surprisingly fast, just keep an eye out

It’s an XE he’s talking about, not XType. Two very different cars. No ford parts on XE.

Rust. Transfer box failure. Injector failure. I sold mine for £400. And i still felt like id ripped him off.

Until recently I had an 07 2.5 AWD Estate. Not the most economical of cars but enjoyable to drive until the transfer box failed in January. Far too much to repair with a new part so I got rid of it. Rear legroom also not the best either. Funnily enough, the recovery driver reckoned these cars are bullet proof. Obviously, not mine, despite fsh.

no not all wheel drive. knowing the jobs it has had done in the last year I thought I would be stupid not to buy it. It has had new break disc's and pads all round, air con pump and belt renewed, the old one seized up, one new wheel bearing on the front oil change,and lucky for me the radiator support bar broke very rusty he had ordered a new one from jaguar £108 plus vat. and it has built in satnav heated seats climate control, so a lot of car for just £1,000

I had a 05 one that you r looking at. It’s was 5 years old when I got it, it was great for a few years then started the problems! It has a common issue with all of them which has probably being delt with by now since it’s a 04. I can’t remember what the name of it is but it was an electronic issue that cost about €500 to fix. The other issues were common for a car if that age. But I loved the car for the 5 years I had it. Spare parts weren’t that expensive cause it’s a Ford Mondao engine in all of them.

Best of luck.

Don't buy it! They were always unloved cars, and the styling was so old-fashioned when they launched it 17 years ago and it's pre-historic now. It was every old-man-loyal-Jaguar- customer's last car before a hearse.

No dealers want them on their forecourts. They are just a tarted up Mondeo and the engine is basically the same as in a Transit. 2006 is pre-facelift and a 5 speed manual box.

If you want a 2006 Mondeo, then buy a Mondeo and save money!
