FORD ESCORT (1995-01) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.6 FLIGHT

Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks

The FORD ESCORT (1995-01) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.6 FLIGHT is a compact, five-door family hatchback from Ford’s Escort range. It was built for everyday UK driving, offering practical passenger and shopping space rather than premium flair. Now an older budget car, it may appeal to value-focused private buyers and Escort enthusiasts. mycarcheck.com data includes 48 look-ups across 28 distinct VINs, a useful but limited snapshot overall. The average private-sale valuation was £300; average latest recorded mileage was 55,000 miles, with annual use averaging 3,000 miles. Cars had just under three previous keepers on average. Individual condition and history can differ substantially. The 1.6-litre petrol Escort suits local journeys, commuting and family use, especially for drivers comfortable with an older car. Compared with contemporaries such as the Vauxhall Astra and Volkswagen Golf, it is a Ford rather than a feature-rich modern hatchback. The five-door layout and no-frills character remain its main appeal.
