FORD FOCUS (2004-08) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.8 TDCI SPORT S
Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The FORD FOCUS (2004-08) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.8 TDCI SPORT S is a three-door family hatchback with a sportier look than five-door versions. In the UK, it competes with the Volkswagen Golf, Vauxhall Astra and Peugeot 307, and is known for enjoyable, confident driving.
Its 1.8-litre diesel suits commuting and longer journeys, offering useful economy and pulling power. The three-door layout and sporty character suit singles, couples or small households better than families needing easy rear-seat access. It may also appeal to budget-conscious first-time buyers.
mycarcheck.com records just seven checks across three distinct VINs, so its figures are indicative, not definitive. The sample shows an average private-sale valuation of £600, average recorded mileage of 225,000 and nearly six previous keepers; the average annual mileage is 8,000. Check each car’s history, maintenance and condition carefully: the Focus is known for engaging handling, but age and mileage matter when assessing any individual example.
Before buying a Ford Focus, check for outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, hidden damage, mileage discrepancies or theft. Enter the reg now—skipping a check could cost you.
