The FORD FOCUS (2007-11) 5DR ESTATE 2.0 145 ZETEC S is a practical, mid-sized family estate, adding a useful load area to the Focus’s familiar five-door layout. It sits in the mainstream used-car market, offering more carrying space than a hatchback without the size or expense of a larger SUV. The 2.0-litre petrol engine and Zetec S trim make this a livelier, better-equipped choice than basic Focus estates, while the estate body suits family trips, commuting and weekends. It is best for buyers needing flexible boot space and comfortable driving, rather than maximum fuel savings or a small city car. Against rivals such as the Vauxhall Astra and Volkswagen Golf estates, the Focus is known for reassuring handling and practicality. mycarcheck.com has two look-ups covering one VIN, too small a sample for firm conclusions: £1,700 average private-sale value, 90,000 average recorded miles, 5,000 average annual miles and three previous keepers.
