Default mondeo tddi down on power

hi all
my brother uses a mondeo tddi ghia x as a daily
the problem is it just feels really slow
on the motorway fine, 90 100 mph not a problem.
it starts on the button no smoke,very smooth and no engine management lights on.
glow light etc.
its done150 000 miles
cheers in advance for your replies, i know there are a few knowledgeable blokes on here about mondy diesels

veins on the vvt clogged? seems to fit the bill if he says it is ok at speed, it will be stuck in one configuration.

Hopefully it is something less expensive than this
