The FORD FOCUS (1998-05) 5DR ESTATE 1.6 ZETEC REV 01 is a compact family estate: a roomier, load-friendly alternative to the Focus hatchback, but easier to park and run than a larger estate. It sits in the mainstream used-car market, appealing to buyers seeking straightforward everyday transport rather than luxury. Mycarcheck.com records 193 look-ups covering 145 different VINs, giving a useful snapshot of cars checked. The average private-sale valuation was £400, with an average recorded mileage of 109,000 miles and annual mileage of 5,000; cars had about three previous keepers on average. These figures describe the checks, not a guaranteed price or condition. The 1.6 Zetec estate suits families, commuters and used-car buyers needing a boot for shopping, pets or weekend gear. Its comfortable ride and useful space helped the Focus stand out against rivals such as the Vauxhall Astra and Volkswagen Golf. As an older car, condition matters most.
