The FORD FOCUS (2007-11) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.6 TDCI DPF 110 ZETEC S is a practical five-door family hatchback from one of the UK’s best-known mainstream ranges. It occupies the popular used-car middle ground: roomier and more versatile than a small city car, yet easier to park than a larger family car. The diesel engine makes it a sensible choice for commuters and families who regularly travel farther. mycarcheck.com has recorded 1,041 checks for this Focus, covering 465 distinct VINs—a substantial sample. The cars average 118,000 miles, about 6,000 miles annually, and 4.3 previous keepers; the average private-sale valuation is £1,600. These figures are useful context, not a guarantee of an individual car’s condition or price, so check its history and maintenance. Zetec S gives the Focus a sportier look, while its comfortable ride and assured handling made it a strong alternative to the Golf and Astra for used-car shoppers.
