FORD FOCUS (2004-08) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.4 80 STUDIO
Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The FORD FOCUS (2004-08) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.4 80 STUDIO is a compact, three-door petrol hatchback, aimed at buyers wanting practical everyday transport rather than a large family car. It sits in the UK’s popular small-car market, competing with the Volkswagen Golf, Vauxhall Astra and similar models.
The 1.4-litre engine makes this Focus best suited to commuting, town driving and modest weekend journeys, rather than regular heavy loads or fast motorway travel. Its three doors give it a sportier look, although rear-seat access is less convenient than in a five-door. The Focus is known for composed, reassuring road manners that help it feel enjoyable and easy to drive.
mycarcheck.com records 53 checks across 34 distinct VINs. Average figures are £500 for private-sale value, 96,000 miles recorded and 8,000 miles driven annually; nearly six previous keepers make a full history check and careful inspection worthwhile for cautious Focus buyers before buying.
Before buying a Ford Focus, check for outstanding finance, write-offs, hidden damage, mileage discrepancies or theft. Enter the reg now—skipping a check could prove costly.
