Hi

I currently drive a 2005 Mondeo ST Tdci, the car is absolutely brilliant and is driving spot on. Me and the 2 previous owners have really looked after the car and anything which needed changing has been done with genuine parts.

At the moment the car is on 158,000 and still fine but how long can these engines realistically last? On its last service they carry out a 180 point check and came back with a few things like discs/pads and crankshaft pulley damper all of which are now done.

I have read online that the injectors are a common fault and likely to go soon at this mileage also the clutch/dmf is probably going to need replacing within 10k miles.

At the moment I am considering selling it and buying a 535D but the Mondeo is a great car and I don't mind keeping it another year. My decision is to sell now whilst its all OK rather than have £1000+ bills next year!

I know its hard to say how long it will last but what do you think if I keep up the regular maintenance etc

Thanks
