The FORD FOCUS (2007-11) 5DR HATCHBACK 2.0 145 ZETEC is a familiar five-door family hatchback. It sits in the UK’s mainstream small-car class, offering more room than a city car without an SUV’s size. Its 2.0-litre petrol engine makes it a lively choice. Checks on mycarcheck.com provide a modest snapshot: 28 look-ups covered 16 distinct VINs. The average recorded mileage was 103,000, with about 5,000 miles driven yearly; the average private-sale valuation was £1,300. Vehicles checked had around 3.6 previous keepers on average, useful context rather than a guarantee for any individual car. It suits commuters and families wanting easy parking, useful rear doors and a practical boot, while the stronger engine can make longer journeys and overtaking feel more assured than in many economy-focused hatchbacks. Against rivals such as the Vauxhall Astra and Volkswagen Golf, the Focus is known for enjoyable driving; check condition and running costs before buying.
