Buying a used Mondeo XR5

[Lyko]

Hi everyone,

Apologies in advance if this question has been asked before but I need some guidance in purchasing a used XR5 Mondeo for my wife. Our budget is around $18-20K.

While the MA is within budget, I’ve noticed a few MB’s with higher kilometers that are a couple of grand over. I would be happy to stretch to an MB (as it has standard sunroof, voice operated Bluetooth, active cruise, different wheels and trim levels), but I need to understand whether I need to be wary of any mechanical issues with those nearing/over 100,000 kms.

Is there anything of a mechanical nature that has specifically affected the XR5 which I need to check in greater detail?

Your feedback is most appreciated.
