1991 Ford Escort Popular review from UK and Ireland
"Cheap and reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car had a new clutch at 15OK and 221k. Brake pads lasted around 30k as did the tyres. As far as I know the last owner had one set of shocks at 108k. Services were also every 10k rather than the recommended 6k.
General comments?
The car never failed an MOT whilst I owned it and was on its original engine and gearbox. Sadly I only got £750 when I sold it.
