Hello

Take it to a Ford Garage and have them do a Free healthcheck on all the problems you have noted.

I don't know about "scuffing", but it was quite common for these (and mk2's) to exhibit a brief "moaning" noise as the clutch was first engaged after a period of inactivity.

Used to happen on some mk3 / 4 Escorts as well.
