FORD MONDEO Common

As of 2026 Q1, 206,264 FORD MONDEOs remain registered in the UK — still a familiar sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 513,837 in 2014 Q3 — only 40% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 307,573 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 21,030 a year (10.2% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2032 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer.

About the MONDEO

The Ford Mondeo is a mid-size/large family car (D-segment) that was manufactured and marketed by Ford across five generations of models from 1993 to 2022. As a self-declared world car, the Mondeo was intended to consolidate the European Sierra, the Telstar in Asia and Australia, and the Tempo/Mercury Topaz in North America. The first two generations used the CDW27 platform, the third-generation model used the EUCD platform, the fourth-generation used the CD4 platform, and the fifth-generation used the C2 platform. Ford announced in March 2021 that it would discontinue Mondeo production in Europe...
