The FORD ESCORT (1995-01) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.4 FINESSE is a compact five-door family hatchback, built for practical everyday motoring. It sits in the mainstream small-car class, offering easier passenger access and more room than a city car. Today it is an older, budget-priced used-car option. It can suit commuters, first-time owners or small households needing straightforward transport for errands and short trips. The 1.4 petrol Finesse is a simple, no-frills version; its familiar controls and five-door layout are everyday strengths. Against period rivals such as the Astra and Golf, the Escort is a recognisable, practical choice, though age makes condition and upkeep key. mycarcheck.com has recorded two look-ups, representing one distinct VIN, so the data is a limited snapshot. It indicates a £200 average private-sale valuation, 75,000 average recorded miles, 10,000 average annual miles and three previous keepers. Check each car’s history and condition carefully: individual examples may differ substantially.
