Spanner can help turn your car details into an advert.
Could suit you if…
- Your usual group fits within 5 seats, including the driver. Check passenger space and any child-seat fit in person.
- Many journeys are local or relatively short: petrol can fit that use without choosing diesel just for occasional long trips.
- You want practical access for everyday shopping and bags: the hatchback opening may suit your routine. Check actual boot space.
Think twice if…
- You need to carry more than 5 people together: the advert records 5 seats, including the driver.
- You need predictable ownership costs: at around 34 years old and 98,169 km, check maintenance records and upcoming work. Mileage alone does not tell you the car's condition.
- You regularly help children or passengers into the rear: fewer doors can make access awkward. Try your child seats and usual passenger routine before deciding.
This is general guidance about this type of car and your needs — not an inspection or approval of this individual car.
This is the Mk5 Escort (1990–1997) era: common petrol engines are small 1.3–1.6 units paired to simple manual gearboxes, so mechanical complexity is low and parts are inexpensive. Check cambelt/timing-belt replacement history and clutch wear — these manuals often need a new belt or clutch if not recently serviced. Corrosion is the Escort’s usual weak spot, but replacement panels and trim are widely available in Ireland.
- Rust in sills, wheelarches, floor pans and rear subframe (look under carpets and inside wheelarches)
- Timing belt/cambelt condition and date of last replacement (important on these petrol engines)
- Clutch bite and gearbox synchros for grinding or slipping when changing gears
- Front suspension top mounts, ball joints and steering play (knocks on bumps)
- Evidence of water ingress around door bottoms, boot seams and sunroof drains if fitted
