Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The FORD FOCUS (2004-08) 3DR HATCHBACK 2.5 T 225 ST3 is a sporty, three-door family hatchback: a performance-focused version of the popular Focus rather than an ordinary commuter car. It sits among the UK’s popular hatchbacks, offering everyday usability with extra pace and a more distinctive, purposeful character.
mycarcheck.com has recorded 6,073 checks covering 1,869 different VINs, providing a substantial snapshot of used examples. Its average private-sale valuation is £3,800, while recorded mileage averages 100,000 miles and about 5,000 miles annually. Checks show an average of 7.3 previous keepers, so reviewing each car’s history and condition is especially worthwhile.
The ST3 suits drivers seeking a car for commuting, shopping and weekend trips, though three doors make family access less convenient. Against standard Focus models and rivals such as the VW Golf GTI, it offers lively performance and enthusiast appeal. Check service history and condition carefully, particularly given the keeper average.
