Thank you all gorgeous comments. So the car got around 60K, 2014, edge (was told it is mid spec), 2L 140 horse power automatic. The seller is Allen Ford.
I can ask those questions to them about flywheel and clutch. But a car for this age, mileage and model should have all he things mentioned changed?

I called them now asking all this stuff and he was going to speak with the personal from their garage. He said that these kind of things like injectors dying or intercollegiate hoses dying is unheard of. Not sure if he was telling the truth or doesn’t know.
Thank you all for your comments. Will elaborate a bit more and say what he told me.
So the car got 53K miles, 6 speed, automatic, diesel, 2L, 140HP, front and rear heated screen, parking sensor, bluetooth, cruise control, air conditioning, front and rear automatic electric windows, CD player (the audio system is from their brand), alloys in the front only (doesn’t bother me really don’t even know what’s the difference) and it is about it although they say many more features (will check which ones). In terms of condition it looks really good given the age.
Costs £8.3K.
My partner got the C-max titanium X and I quite like it but we were really lucky given the age, mileage and price.
What do you guys think?
He said that he spoke with the garage manager and that the timing belt is done at 10y or 120K miles. The injectors is not true. Also said about the other stuff it is not heard of. Well what can I say? That’s all about it.
What do tiú think?

I am inclined to get it but not 100% convinced given your comments. Would appreciate any help.
thanks a lot for sharing your view. I did a quick check on auto trader For similar cars but older and titanium and titanium spec and they are same price or more expensive. Similar
Yeah this is a good deal indeed. Need to re evaluate.
yeah, maybe because precisa have gone up eight the pandemic and chips shortage. Don’t know. But I am not going now to buy that car. My top budget is 10K ish and I have seen some nice cars and deals. For example these two:

I wonder for this one how many miles can a car like this do? Normally I use everything till it falls apart. My Nissan altera from 2003 went for scrap this week after failing MOT. Repair was £500 not economical so went down the scrap. Got £290 from them. It cost me 6y ago £700 and has never let me down once. It has cost me after deducting the £290, ~£6/month.
It would be nice that the next car like the mondeo I am looking at could last at least 10y or do another 100K miles minimum.
The other one is this:

What do you guys think? I think it is indeed a better value compared to the edge. I thought edge was close to top of the line in the previous model.
Yep, I thought that and actually was really close to say yes to the mechanic but the thing is that something could show up again. In a couple of months brake pads, next year tyres, there was also a oil leak (included in the £500), been topping up oil, left suspension was essentially broken, the inside was by now completely used or in other words wear out.
It was a good runner though.
My initial thought was to get another one. Initial plan LOL but my partner is saying to get a better one.
I have seen some interesting one around £1K but my only fear is corrosion and oil leak. There were actually some interesting choices. When I get time will put it here. Will think about your suggestions and investigate the other ones I just mentioned.
The thing is that I need a car. Although I might do 25 miles a day I might occasionally do 150 to 250 miles in a weekend.
It would be nice to have a better car but if you guys are saying the prices are ridiculous well I need to think about. I am not sure if they will come down. All this is because of chip shortages I believe. Like with the houses, prices now went up but this is a different monster.
I wonder how much would the gray mondeo above cost if the prices weren’t crazy like you were saying?
It is top spec apparently and with low mileage. How much do you think it would cost?
Well essentially if you think about it, if I get three changed that’s what, £250 (the car you are going to buy needs to have tyres in good condition), brake pads no idea but maybe £200 (the car you are going to buy needs to have them in good condition) plus the £500 of repair plus the £300 from scrap that gets you £1250. You put another 1K for deposit you got £2250 for deposit and if you price point is 8K you are going to ask credit for £5750.
Thats my line of thought might be wrong.
another guardroom guys. What you think about the 1.8 TDCI 130PS engine?
I am looking at other options since the advice some gave was to look for a cheaper one:
Came across this one and it looks nice. The MOT as well. What is your opinion? Maybe it is better to go to a cheaper option for now.

Decided to go with the Mondeo titanium from 2016 with 108K miles essentially done on motorway. New tyres, service, change of direction bulbs, painting from driver/passenger door to the front - there were some ‘small damage, in the painting, you could tell causes by small ‘rocks’ maybe because of driving on the motorway, full history, 3mo warranty. It belonged to a regional manager from Lloyds. If we discount the stuff that was done in the car, maybe one can say the car has cost around what 7.5K or so.
Thanks everyone for your inputs and advice. Much better car compared with the base one I initially posted.

I see. Yes, the stand said it was mainly on motorways l. But who knows. They said as if they bought from Lloyds they had leading plan and after x years they sell the cars.
Interesting. I noticed the car I disuse had sync engraved somewhere. The touchscreen was really responsive and the navigation as well. Will check this when I pick up the car.
I see. So a manual should be less prone to this then?
I see. But they have the dual mass flywheel. Does the automatic got dual mass flywheel & dual wet clutch then?
just went today to pick up my new mondeo, to me
It is beautiful and it drives beautiful. It was a nice upgradecfrom a Nissan almera from early 2000s lol
