The FORD FIESTA (1999-02) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.3 FINESSE is a small petrol hatchback from the Fiesta’s long-running supermini range, aimed at everyday UK driving. Its three-door layout and compact size make it easy to park and well suited to town streets, while still offering useful space for shopping and occasional passengers. It sits alongside cars such as the Vauxhall Corsa and Renault Clio as an affordable, familiar small-car choice. Mycarcheck recorded 223 look-ups across 164 distinct VINs. The average most recent mileage was 70,000 miles, with average annual use of 4,000 miles; cars averaged nearly four previous keepers, and the average recorded private-sale valuation was £200. These figures describe checked examples, not a guarantee for any individual car, so service history, condition and a vehicle history check remain important for used-car buyers. Its simple character suits first-time drivers and commuters, provided age and condition are carefully assessed. The 1.3 Finesse offers straightforward, modest motoring; today, careful checks matter more than badge appeal when comparing this ageing Fiesta with newer small cars.
