The FORD ESCORT (1995-01) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.8 D FLIGHT is a practical five-door family hatchback from the UK used-car market. Once a familiar rival to the Vauxhall Astra and Volkswagen Golf, the Escort offered straightforward, roomy everyday transport, with a rear seat and boot rather than luxury or sporty showmanship. mycarcheck.com has recorded five checks for this exact version, covering three different VINs, so the figures are a small snapshot, not a market-wide picture. Those checks show an average private-sale valuation of £200, mileage around 173,000, annual use of 2,000 miles and 1.8 previous keepers on average in this sample. The 1.8-litre diesel suits drivers wanting simple, potentially economical transport for commuting and errands, though age and high mileage make condition and maintenance history important. Choose this Ford Escort hatchback for space and uncomplicated character; newer rivals may feel more refined, but this Flight remains a no-frills option for careful buyers.
