The Blue Oval has come a long way - 1960`s Populars with sidevalve engines needed an engine rebuild @ 40k miles Mind you they`ve produced some c-rap along the way- Silver fox paint on Mk.2 Cortinas - Sideways Sierras - Probe - You gotta love `em though .http://www.autocar.co.uk/blogs/anything-goes/half-million-mile-mondeo
This photo came from a High Mileage Mondeo Thread on a Forum somewhere.....
Don't know how old the car is, though.
There was also a '96 Mondeo taxi that did a million, I think. I'll see if I can look it up.
EDIT:
Here it is: A '96 Estate!

Is that miles or K's on that clock? if its K's that's roughly 250,000miles
And depends how you drive the thing.
When I were a lad if it was raining the car would be rusting through by the time you had driven it home from the showroom. If the body lasted 60k miles the big ends certainly wouldn't. These modern cars and the oils you put in them are marvellous contraptions in comparison.
I reckon the useful life of a well looked after mondeo is around 200k miles, to get more you will need to be replacing expensive parts and cheaper to buy another one.
