I've got first refusal on Mondeo 2.0 TDCI auto 2008 116000 kms FFSH - mint. (I live in France hence KMs). Good or bad car? Auto box reliable and servicable? Overall thoughts much appreciated.

    If its a MK4, then you've got to consider whether it needs it's belts changing or if you've got documentary proof that they've been done. There's a wet belt on some that is costly to change. If it snaps then it writes off the engine. 

    If its a mk3, then it's a chain and doesn't need changing, ever.
