    If it was the original battery then it's likely it had just reached the end of it's natural service life.

    As above really.

    From what I've read over the years there was a battery drain problem that affected the earlier MK4 Mondeo's and very little of the MK4.5 (2011 onwards)

    Battery in my car was replaced in Jan 2015 (Ford battery under warranty) and that's beginning to not hold it's charge so well recently, though in the current situation the car has only been driven once a week, so that doesn't help. Not had any trouble starting though.
