Ford Mondeo Titanium X Sport MK4 REVIEW / Still a great car to buy in 2022 

Nice honest review, I like it... I have a 2013 2.0L TDCi140 Titanium X Business class (Manual) 63MPG rated It is by far the best car I have ever owned. 101K and I just this morning had the cambelt replaced (Not before time according to the engineer) I moved accomodation a couple of years ago and found I could open the hatchback, fold the seats down and shove a single mattress in and close the hatchback again...Awesome My Titanium X has all the toys a 2013 model should have.... Satnav, (Out of date now and won't pay £300 for updating the SD card in the dash when Google maps is free and upto date) Cruise, Speed limiter, electric all round as in the video, DAB, Front and rear parking sensors and more... I will spend money on this to keep it on the road as I like everything about it. 10 years old now so cambelt was obvious, rear camera is slightly intermittent and the high level LED brake light needs looking at.... hey one thing at a time but worth it.... I can't praise it enough... The video suggests the front screen button gets you out of trouble in icy morning days.... When you press this, the blower goes to max, the front and rear screen start to demist but you still have to scrape the side windows unless you have so much time to wait for the heaters to clear them too...but if you scrape the sides, you can be away in 2 mins......even if the front is completely iced up.....

Great review. Love my MK4 2013 Estate. Currently on 120k and apart from the general stuff like brakes , tyres, discs, service, timing belt at 100k , battery change after 7 years there's been absolutely nothing wrong with it. Fully intend on getting it to 200k at which point I'll probably get a 2021 MK5 which in my view is an absolutely beautiful car.

These are such underrated cars. We've got a 2012 Titanium which we bought eight years ago. Currently at 185k miles. Bulletproof reliability and even though its 'only' the 140bhp, the engine is strong and has plenty of usable power. Chassis, seats and the amount of space inside os spot on. A well looked after one of these is one of the best used car bargains you can find now. Saw a 60k 2011 fully loaded TXS go for £8k in work a few weeks back. FSH and flawless MOT history. Awesome buy. Great video 🙌

I just bought a 2010 Ford Mondeo Titanium X Sport 2 litre diesel and I absolutely love it. Drives smooth it's a 160 bhp and so far I am impressed with it, very sporty interior and with the body of the car.

At last a very down to earth review of the monde, no bs. New sub. I plan on buying this model soon.

I have an ex Ford dealer principles 2014 2.2 diesel with every option ticked, it's now knocking on the door of 100k and it's still as fresh as the day it came of the line with everything still working like a Swiss clock. The only issues I've had which few diesel owner's escape is the dreaded dpf choking up, after a visit to a reputable tuner there is nothing left inside it to choke up and now it pulls very hard indeed along with a welcome increase in mpg. I absolutely love this car and can't see me selling it for many years to come. I highly recommend these cars but if the budget allows go for the post 2010 facelift like this one here as they seem much better screwed together with most of the earlier teething problems ironed out. Just regular servicing of the wear and tear items will provide very reliable motoring which is a rarity especially when it comes to modern diesels. However if economy is a priority I'd go for the 2.0 version as the 2.2 can be a little thirsty especially if the mountain of torque is regularly used! Great video mate 👍

I got one of these but the 2.2 diesel manual and I drove from Manchester to Mannheim in Germany and wasn't tired from the drive and on the autobahn the 2.2 will happily sit at 140mph. Class cars can't fault mine

I have a Mondeo MK4 Titanium from 2009, Automatic (no Powershift) 2.0 Diesel, sadly not the Sport Version. But this car is the best i´ve ever driven. Bought with 21.000mi, now @ 130.000mi. Not a single issue since then. Only brakes needs some replacement and the tires. nothing spectacular. Still holding strong until today. Best car to buy in my opinion

I currently own a 2010 FOCUS 136 ZETEC S diesel absolutely brilliant little car I've had it 6 years and im giving this mondeo serious thought damn it's a good looking car !!!!

Great cars, man! Having owned an mk3 2.0i ghia and now an mk4 2.0tdci titanium x I can vouch for their brilliant drive and reliability. My current mk4 is an estate 2012 on 17s with 215/50/17 tyres. I agree with you that the sports look meaner and more edgy. But mine is a proper workhorse with a full roofbox of hand tools and in regular in car loads of around 200kg. So I'd probably kill a sport quite quickly with it being lowered on huge rims 😆

they are a fantastic looking car, i have got the estate version of this car ,its done210 thousand miles ,i go all over the country pulling a13 hundred weight caravan and i have got total confidence in the car.

Look after that powershift gearbox folks because if it self destructs, it'll cost you £2k to put right.

The Titanium X Sport is a cracking car. Had one for a yr n a half.

I bought a 2013 Titanium X sport 163bhp around 6 years ago and it has been an absolute gem of a car. They are powered by the PSC engine which is super sweet, but could benefit from a DPF removal as it lacks the throttle response that the last Mk3 130 had. Servicing is done by me and costs around £90 for oil and a set of genuine Ford filters, make sure you change the oil and air filters every 10k and they will tick on happily. I also change the fuel filter every 30k as an insurance policy and the cabin air filter around 50k to prevent the fan and resistor pack from burning out.

Nice looking car lot of car for the money.

Great cars ,I one with the Powershift no probelms at all all serviced when required done 206000 km:)

Nice review, thanks! Good contender to buy. It would be nice to hear kinda comparison (if you had ones) with Alfa Romeo 159 like a good rival in that class

Just to add mine has 191,000 miles, too. Haha! It's obviously been well maintained and seriously you wouldn't know it's a high miler apart from the motorway driving stone chips on the front bumper.

My 2010 2.0 tdci has now hit 207000 miles and still going strong

Hi, can someone explain the diference: Titanium, Titanium S and Titanum X ? Thank you in advance!

I much prefer the styling of the Mk3 Mondeo but I'm sure that this is also a well engineered car.

I've had my 2.0tdi titanium x business spec for 8 years and now nearing 160000 miles I bought it at 30000. Always service it on time never uses oil between services. Up until recently only wear items replaced like tyres linkages bushes etc. And more recently the dreaded rear suspension bushes and bearings. Can't talk about reliability as nothings serious has gone wrong. So the car has been excellent and I feel it's a better car than BMW and Audi equivalents as I know owners who have or had them have been more expensive to maintain and less reliable. So what has gone wrong. Aircon stopped working. Cost me £250 to fix with a new condenser and regas. A friend's BMW 330e cost him £2000. One of the rear door won't lock with the remote I have to check it everytime. The fuse for the power points keeps failing. I'll get both these done next service. Although the rear bushes and bearings have been done the tyres still wear more on the inside Although I know many cars are like this. And one ally wheel needs air weekly the other three never drop pressure. It's been a brilliant car, my second mondeo although a electrical problem wrote off the first. In between I had a passat which I sold after 9 months because it wasn't a mondeo in any way. Worse in everyway except maybe build quality. I feel superior driving a car that most people think of as just a Ford and buy something much more expensive and less roomy or practical just because it has a "badge " I still drive newer cars to see if I'm missing something and should trade up .... or in for something else. But no the Mondeo is perfect for now.

Great video, I’m thinking of getting a 2.2 titanium x sport in white, in the new year ! Do these suffer with any major issues being a diesel , ie dpf or egr valve problems or leaking injectors ? As this is a concern for me, as this would be my first diesel motor and I need reliability ! Cheers 👍

Anyone know the ral number code for getting the wheels powder coated this same metallic silver colour?

I seen a 2.2L one with dual exhausts, stage 1 remap for 240hp, full spec. With 90k miles for 5,600.

I am little confused as it’s missing the rear boot spoiler and should be twin rear pipes even on the diesels so did the first owner ask for these deleted.

Picking up a 2.2 tomorrow! Is the sat nav any good? Or is it dated? Cheers

I had a 220 at and now I have the titanium x sport and it’s remapped and I will say the st 220 wins all day long! Great engine and looked buff

I heard about the automatic transmission powershift is kind of problematic, is it true? I'm thnking of buying one titanum x but it's an autoamtic, so what are your thoughts about the poweshift since you've already tried it?

Whats the difference between the 2.0 and 2.2 diesels? Obviously barring CC. Guessing the 2.2 is the one to have?

Assalamalikum uncle it’s Ibrahim it’s a great car

Does this model have the adaptive cruise control?

Just hit 215k with mine. Robust!

Am i right in thinking the 2.2 diesel doesn't have powershift?

Where do I get this same car? Looking to buy a used ford mondeo

AVOID THE AUTOMATIC POWERSHIFT GEARBOX AT ALL COSTS. THEY HAVE A TERRIBLE TRACK RECORD FOR FAILURES.

This guy doesn't know what he is talking about.
