The FORD FOCUS (2007-11) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.8 TDCI 115 ZETEC is a compact, three-door family hatchback, sitting in the UK’s popular mainstream used-car market. It combines practical everyday transport with a sportier, more purposeful look than a five-door Focus, making it appealing to drivers who rarely need much rear-seat space. Its 1.8-litre diesel engine and 115-horsepower output suit regular commuting and longer journeys, while the Focus is widely appreciated for reassuring handling and a comfortable ride. Compared with rivals such as the Vauxhall Astra and Volkswagen Golf, this Zetec offers an engaging drive and versatility, though three doors limit convenience. mycarcheck.com recorded 131 look-ups covering 43 different VINs, offering a snapshot rather than a guarantee about any car. Checks show an average private-sale value of £1,500, mileage of 100,000 and annual use of 5,000 miles; owners averaged 4.3 previous keepers.
