I was helping get a Mondeo going earlier in the year with a similar history, 15 years in a garage with less than a years mileage on it. The new owner could not get it going and had tried various things. In the end it turned out to be a stuck fuel pump relay. A new relay and some new petrol it ran great with a little smoke until the temp gauge came up. We pumped the tyres up but they were flat spotted, 4 new tyres and a look over and it was in the next day having an MOT and surprisingly it passed with just an advise for poor aim on washer jets or something similar.
It was sold a few weeks later on the bay for about 5 times what a Mondeo normally gets.
