FORD FOCUS (2004-08) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.4 80 LX

Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks

The FORD FOCUS (2004-08) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.4 80 LX is a compact, three-door hatchback in the UK’s popular mainstream used-car class. It offers familiar, straightforward transport rather than SUV size or luxury-car frills. With seating for everyday passengers and a useful boot, it suits drivers wanting an affordable, practical car. The 1.4-litre petrol engine is aimed at calm, everyday journeys, making this Focus a sensible option for commuting, local trips and newer drivers; the three-door body is less convenient for regular rear-seat access than a five-door. Focus models are widely appreciated for reassuring handling and a comfortable ride, giving them a more engaging feel than many similarly priced small hatchbacks. Mycarcheck recorded 53 look-ups across 32 different VINs. In those checks, average private-sale value was £500, mileage 99,000, annual use 5,000 miles and previous keepers about seven—useful context when assessing a car’s history and condition before purchase.
