The FORD FOCUS (2004-08) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.6 100 ZETEC is a family hatchback, offering three doors for errands, commuting and weekend trips. It sits in the heart of the UK used-car market, where practical size and manageable running costs matter. Its 1.6-litre petrol engine offers more flexibility than a basic city car while remaining easy to live with. In mycarcheck.com data, 38 look-ups covered 30 cars: a snapshot, though not a large sample. Average recorded mileage was 102,000, with about 4,000 miles added yearly; cars had averaged just over five previous keepers. The average private-sale valuation was £500, reflecting age and condition. The three-door layout suits singles, couples and first-time drivers more than families needing rear-seat access. The Focus is known for composed road manners and a roomy cabin, making this Zetec a sensible alternative to a Vauxhall Astra or Volkswagen Golf for affordable everyday motoring.
