'Godwinning'. HTH.

My car was built in 1996. It could be a Mark 1 (made from 1993-1996) or a 
Mark 2 (made from 1996-2000) model.

It's an N-registered car.

So if it was for sale, it would be a 1996 Mk.1 Mondeo 2.0 GLS, N-reg.

1996 - year it was made. Could be N-reg or P-reg in 1996.
N-reg - reg letters run August-August (or did then) so first half of 96.
Mark 1 - major version number
GLS - specification level
2.0 - engine size

Is that any better?

Generally, the year only matters when it gets to 3 or 4 years old, the 
letter only before that, and to snobs. Like model years over there.
