The FORD ESCORT (1995-01) 5DR ESTATE 1.8 TDI FINESSE is a compact, five-door diesel estate from a familiar UK family-car name. It offers more load space and everyday flexibility than an Escort hatchback, while remaining a straightforward, modest-sized alternative to larger estate cars. In today’s used market, it is an older budget choice rather than a modern high-tech family wagon. mycarcheck.com has logged six checks across five distinct VINs, so the figures offer a small snapshot, not a broad market picture. Those checks show an average private-sale valuation of £300, average recorded mileage of 105,000 miles, and around 4,000 miles driven annually. The average keeper count is about 2.2, suggesting these examples have typically changed hands a little over twice. For commuters, small families or practical users, it suits errands and light loads; against period Astra estates, its simple, useful character stands out, though age-related wear deserves a careful inspection.
