The FORD FOCUS (1998-05) 4DR SALOON 1.6 LX REV 01 is a family car with a boot, rather than the familiar Focus hatchback. In the UK it sits among affordable saloons, with a roomier feel than city cars. Its 1.6-litre petrol engine makes it suitable for everyday journeys and commuting. mycarcheck.com records 39 look-ups covering 32 distinct VINs, a snapshot rather than a national survey. Average recorded mileage was 93,000, annual mileage 4,000, and previous keepers about three and a half. The average private-sale valuation was £300, so treat it as historic sample data, not a current asking-price guide today. The saloon body suits commuters, first-time buyers and households wanting a boot for shopping or luggage. The Focus is praised for enjoyable handling, helping it feel more engaging than an Astra or a similarly priced family car. Check an older car’s condition and history carefully; upkeep matters more than reputation.
