The FORD FOCUS (2004-08) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.4 80 SPORT is a compact, three-door family hatchback, positioned between city cars and larger family models. It offers manageable size with everyday practicality and a sportier look. The 1.4 petrol suits local trips and commuting more than fast motorway driving. Sport styling and enjoyable handling give it youthful appeal against practical rivals such as the Astra and Golf. It can suit first-time drivers, couples or smaller households, though rear-seat access is less convenient than in a five-door hatchback. Mycarcheck.com recorded 102 look-ups across 37 distinct VINs, a useful sample. The average private-sale valuation was £500; average recorded mileage was 121,000 miles, with about 5,000 miles driven annually. The average 7.3 previous keepers makes a careful history and condition check worthwhile. This older Ford Focus Sport is an affordable, characterful used choice, but compare cars closely, as age and upkeep matter more than the badge.
