The FORD FOCUS (1998-05) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.6 ZETEC AUTO4 REV 01 is a compact, three-door family hatchback from a hugely familiar name in the UK used-car market. Its automatic gearbox and manageable size make it an approachable choice for town trips and everyday driving, while the Focus is often praised for feeling more engaging on the road than many small family-car rivals. This three-door version suits singles, couples or small households who want useful hatchback practicality without a bulky car; the automatic may also appeal to drivers seeking easier stop-start motoring. It is less convenient for frequent rear-seat passengers than a five-door, so check access and condition before buying. mycarcheck.com currently records 316 look-ups across 215 different VINs; its averages show 87,000 miles, 5,000 miles driven yearly and about four previous keepers. The average private-sale valuation is £400, a useful snapshot, not a guaranteed price: condition and history matter greatly.
