The FORD FOCUS C-MAX (2004-07) 5DR MPV 2.0 145 GHIA is a family-sized compact MPV: taller and roomier than a Focus hatchback, but easier to park than a people carrier. It sits in the practical used-car market, offering five doors, flexible space and a more car-like feel than rivals. Mycarcheck.com records 83 look-ups covering 60 distinct VINs, a sample for this older model. Checks show an average private-sale valuation of £800 and average recorded mileage of 101,000 miles; annual mileage averages 7,000. Cars have had around three previous keepers on average, so condition and service history deserve close attention. The 2.0-litre petrol Ghia suits families needing room, school-run practicality and commuting, with useful space without the size of a MPV. Its stronger engine and Ghia trim give it a more relaxed, well-equipped character than basic versions, while Focus-based handling is valued against rivals such as the Vauxhall Zafira.
