The FORD FOCUS (2007-11) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.8 125 ZETEC is a compact three-door family hatchback in one of the UK’s most popular used-car classes. It blends everyday practicality with a sportier look than the five-door version, and is a sensible alternative to the Volkswagen Golf or Vauxhall Astra. Mycarcheck.com records 153 checks across 73 VINs, providing a snapshot of shopper interest. The checks show an average private-sale value of £1,400 and recorded mileage of 93,000 miles. Annual mileage averages 5,000 miles, while owners average 4.6 previous keepers, making condition and service history important to check. The 1.8-litre petrol engine delivers performance, and the Focus is known for composed handling and a comfortable ride. This three-door Zetec suits commuters, couples and small households seeking an engaging car, though rear-seat access is less convenient. It suits first-time buyers wanting an affordable, well-rounded hatchback; check insurance, fuel costs and upkeep before buying.
