A superb example of the increasingly sought-after Ford Mondeo ST220, Ford’s flagship performance saloon of the early 2000s. Presented in stunning condition both inside and out, this example stands out as a particularly well-kept car, combining genuine performance, everyday usability and discreet sporting styling. With just 2 former keepers, very low for one of these cars, and current ownership for the last 16 years, this ST220 offers a particularly appealing ownership profile.
This Mondeo ST220 is accompanied by the original Ford bookpack, encasing the Audio Guide, Owner’s Guide, Warranty and Service Guide, and Service History Log. The latter displays an impressive 23 stamps for services completed between 2003 at 1,737 miles and March 2026 at 95,109 miles. It also benefits from a current MOT running until April 2027, adding further confidence for its next keeper. The car presents in good condition inside and out, reflecting the level of care it appears to have received over the years.
The ownership history is another strong point, with just 2 former keepers recorded, a notably low number for a performance Ford of this age. The current keeper has owned the car for the last 16 years, while the extensive stamped service record provides a strong sense of continuity and supports the impression of a cherished and well-maintained example.
Launched as the high-performance flagship of the second generation Mondeo range, the ST220 was powered by Ford’s naturally aspirated 3.0-litre Duratec V6 engine, producing 226 bhp and 280 Nm of torque. Early 2002 examples were fitted with a 5-speed manual gearbox, delivering strong performance with a 0–62 mph time of around 7.4 seconds and a top speed of approximately 155 mph. The ST220 featured a unique body kit, 18-inch alloy wheels, subtle boot spoiler and a sporting interior, often including heated Recaro leather seats and a heated front screen. Designed to rival more expensive German sports saloons, it earned praise for its sharp steering, engaging chassis and distinctive V6 soundtrack, while still retaining the practicality and usability of the Mondeo platform.
Fast Fords continue to enjoy strong interest among collectors and enthusiasts, and the ST220 is now gaining recognition as one of the great understated performance saloons of its era. With just 2 former keepers, current ownership for the last 4 years, original Ford bookpack, 23 service stamps, a long MOT and stunning presentation, this 2002 example represents a highly appealing opportunity for anyone seeking a usable and increasingly collectible modern classic.
