If mine lasts as long I've got another 229,000 to go. Based on my current mileage that another 114 years

Nice going!

Despite Ford trying to cheapify these cars, they did still use a lot of decent brand parts, that tend to last longer than their Mondeo counterparts.

D5 engines seem to be capable of lasting forever, as long as they get regular aux-belt changes (and alternator pulley)
