FORD FOCUS (1998-05) 4DR SALOON 1.6 GHIA

Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The FORD FOCUS (1998-05) 4DR SALOON 1.6 GHIA is a compact family saloon from Ford’s first-generation Focus range. Unlike the better-known hatchback, its separate boot gives it a traditional four-door shape and useful luggage space. It sits in the UK’s mainstream small-car class, competing with versions of the Vauxhall Astra and Volkswagen Golf, while offering a practical alternative for buyers who prefer a saloon.
Mycarcheck.com recorded 18 look-ups across 16 distinct VINs, so these figures offer a snapshot rather than a market survey. Within those checks, average private-sale valuation was £200, average mileage was 93,000 miles, and annual mileage averaged 3,000. Cars had around 2.7 previous keepers on average. These figures can help frame expectations, but condition and history matter for a car of this age.
Ghia trim adds an upmarket touch, and the saloon suits commuters or small households seeking practical transport; check condition carefully against hatchback rivals.
