The FORD FOCUS C-MAX (2004-07) 5DR MPV 2.0 TDCI 135 ZETEC is a compact, five-door family MPV, combining Focus-like road manners with a taller, more practical cabin. It sits between a conventional hatchback and larger people carrier, offering useful space without feeling oversized for everyday UK roads and parking spaces. It suits families needing flexible room, commuters and drivers wanting one car for school runs, shopping and longer trips. Its 2.0-litre diesel offers stronger passing ability than many modest family MPVs, while raised seating and five-door access simplify daily use. It is not a city car, but remains manageable overall. Mycarcheck.com logs 549 checks across 300 VINs, a useful sample. The average private-sale valuation is £700; checked cars averaged 131,000 miles, 7,000 annually, and just over five previous keepers. Against rivals such as the Vauxhall Zafira and Renault Scénic, the C-MAX stands out for its compact practicality and car-like feel.
