Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1996 Ford Escort Calypso Edition, with a 1.6-litre engine and 39,961 miles, has been with the same family since 2010 and comes with a long MoT history. While recent maintenance addresses some issues, the electric roof needs a new relay and the car has had 8 previous owners.
Condition
6
The car presents as being in good condition, with moderate wear expected for its age. Although recent maintenance suggests it has been cared for, the need for a new relay for the electric roof and the presence of 8 former keepers suggest more than average wear and tear. Some reconditioning would likely be required to bring it to a higher standard.
