The FORD FIESTA (1999-02) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.8 D FINESSE is a small, five-door diesel hatchback from a familiar name in the UK’s used-car market. The Fiesta has long been a popular alternative to the Vauxhall Corsa, Renault Clio and Volkswagen Polo, valued for its compact size and straightforward everyday appeal. With five doors and useful cabin space, it can suit commuting, errands or occasional family duties, while its diesel engine was intended to keep running costs manageable. It is best viewed today as an inexpensive older runabout for buyers who prioritise practicality and low purchase cost over modern equipment, refinement or the latest safety features. mycarcheck.com has just one recorded check for this exact model, so its figures are a small snapshot, not a market-wide guide: average mileage was 74,000, annual mileage 4,000, and previous keepers three. The recorded average private-sale value was £200, making condition and checks especially important.
