The FORD FOCUS (1998-05) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.4 CL REV 01 is an early-generation, three-door family hatchback: a straightforward petrol car in the mainstream small-car class, rather than a city car or SUV. It was a popular alternative to the Vauxhall Astra and Volkswagen Golf, offering useful everyday space in a compact, easy-to-place shape. Mycarcheck.com usage data includes 48 look-ups covering 41 distinct cars, giving a useful snapshot rather than a full picture of every Focus. The cars checked averaged 92,000 miles and around 5,000 miles a year, with about 4.5 previous keepers; the average private-sale figure recorded was £200. These are historical check data, not a guaranteed price or condition assessment. Its three doors suit singles, couples or commuters more than families needing easy rear-seat access. The Focus is known for enjoyable, reassuring handling, and makes an affordable first car when carefully checked for age-related wear today.
