    5.5 is fairly high alright.

    If the Mondeo is anything like the Transits they can build up soot in the exhaust. A good hard driving normally blows the worst of it away.

    Does the car do mostly city driving?

    EGR valve would get my vote here, its not that common though muckey. OP just take it out, disconnect the plug and remove the vacuum pipe(rubber). Then remove two 8mm and 10mm bolts. Its on the left hand side as you look in. Scrap away with it with a screw driver and maybe use thinners and stuff to clean her. Thats saying if its dirty.
