The FORD FOCUS (1998-05) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.8 ZETEC REV 01 is a practical five-door hatchback from Ford’s popular range. It sits in the mainstream used-car market, offering useful family space and everyday versatility without the bulk of a larger car or the compact feel of a city car for families. Mycarcheck logs 359 checks across 244 different VINs, giving a useful sample of real used-car enquiries. The checks show an average private-sale value of £400 and average recorded mileage of 97,000 miles; treat these as historical snapshots, not a guide to an individual car’s current price or condition when buying. Average annual mileage is 6,000, with about 3.5 previous keepers, so this Focus may suit commuters, families or first-time buyers seeking affordable transport. The Zetec is known for a lively drive, and the Focus became popular for manners that felt more engaging than rivals such as the Astra or Golf.
