The FORD FOCUS (2004-08) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.6 115 ZETEC CLIMATE is a compact three-door family hatchback from a hugely popular part of the UK used-car market. Its size makes it easier to park than a larger family car, while offering more room and comfort than many small city cars do. Mycarcheck.com checks recorded 338 look-ups covering 180 different VINs, a useful sample of buyer interest. The average private-sale valuation was £600, with average recorded mileage of 104,000 miles and annual use of 5,000 miles. Records show an average of nearly five previous keepers, so check the car’s history and condition carefully. The 1.6-litre 115 Zetec Climate suits commuters, couples and first-time drivers seeking everyday transport with useful equipment and a lively drive. Its handling helped the Focus stand out against rivals like the Vauxhall Astra and Volkswagen Golf. The three-door body limits rear-seat access, but remains an affordable used hatchback.
