233s many mile Mondeo

quick update seeing as its been a while,

just changed the back pads for the first time at 98k miles :)

and the Mondeo now has a new stable mate arriving which should rack up even more miles. pics of her new big sister to follow soon :)
 
must be tired as I can't see a mileage on the site, MOTd in July at 145k miles which is faff all for a 2l tdci, can't comment on the auto box though I've never run one, but like most things as long as its been serviced correctly I wouldn't be overly concerned, does seem a touch pricey for the age and mileage, I bought a 60 plate facelift for a grand more than that over 3 years ago so shop around or try for a few quid off, albeit mine was a zetec manual but less miles. theres plenty of choice out there. although slightly limited with the higher spec and auto box.

fwiw those seats are amazingly comfy I retrofitted a TitX half leather seat into mine

@233 Quick query, is a taxi which isn't an LTI type thing still classified as a Hackney Carriage for insurance purposes?

I'm guessing not as it is a body type in the insurance system and that would probably relate to whether or not it is a vehicle specifically designed to be used as such?

Hackney carriage relates to the plate type on the vehicle

It's either minicab/private hire or taxi/hackney carriage

Some councils you find have the same cars available as both

quick update,

the old mk4 is still going strong in my friends hands having just had her first clutch at 550k
the mk5 is plodding away on fleet duties now getting ragged silly by multiple drivers and living the proper taxi life

and i have a new err mile munching mondeo

feels very much like the old mk4 in a lot of ways solidly built and heavy in every regard. rather brisk too with somewhere north of 700nm of torque moving it along nicely :)
