FORD FOCUS (2004-08) 5DR HATCHBACK 2.5 T 225 ST
Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The FORD FOCUS (2004-08) 5DR HATCHBACK 2.5 T 225 ST is a five-door performance hatchback, pairing everyday practicality with turbocharged power. In the UK used-car market, it sits above ordinary family hatchbacks as a sportier rival to the Volkswagen Golf GTI and Vauxhall Astra VXR.
It suits drivers seeking an exciting commuter, weekend car or practical family runabout: five doors and a useful cabin make it more versatile than a sports coupe. The powerful 2.5-litre turbo engine delivers brisk acceleration, while Focus handling is a familiar strength. Expect higher fuel and upkeep costs than a standard Focus.
mycarcheck.com recorded 279 look-ups across 93 distinct VINs. The observed average private-sale valuation is £3,800, with 105,000 miles recorded and 6,000 miles driven annually on average. The average keeper count is 7.4, so check each car’s service and ownership history; these figures are guidance, not a promise about any individual used ST car.
A Focus ST can be thrilling, but hidden damage, outstanding finance, write-off history, theft or mileage issues could turn a bargain into a costly mistake. Enter the reg now and check before you buy.
