The FORD FOCUS (1998-05) 5DR ESTATE 1.6 ZETEC AUTO4 is a compact family estate from a generation that helped make the Focus a familiar choice on UK roads. Its five-door layout offers more luggage room than the equivalent hatchback, while its automatic gearbox can make stop-start journeys and town driving easier. It sits among practical mainstream cars rather than premium or specialist models. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 114 look-ups covering 83 distinct VINs, a useful sample for this older model. Across those checks, the average private-sale valuation was £300, and average most recent mileage was 99,000 miles. Recorded annual mileage averaged 5,000, while cars had an average of about 3.7 previous keepers. These figures describe checked vehicles, not a guaranteed price or condition for any individual car. It suits families and commuters needing affordable space; compared with Astra rivals, the Focus offers easy driving and a versatile load area for everyday use.
