The FORD FOCUS (1998-05) 4DR SALOON 1.8 TDI LX REV 01 is an early Focus with four doors, a separate boot and a diesel engine. It sits in the family-car class, offering a practical alternative to the Focus hatchback and rivals such as the Vauxhall Astra and Volkswagen Golf. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 20 look-ups covering 15 different VINs, a modest sample. Checks show an average private-sale valuation of £300, average recorded mileage of 125,000 miles and annual mileage of 6,000. Cars had averaged just over three previous keepers, so individual history and condition matter greatly when assessing one today. This four-door Focus suits commuters, families or buyers wanting a used saloon with a boot. Its diesel engine can appeal to drivers covering journeys, while the Focus is remembered for road manners and an easy-going feel. Compared with hatchback rivals, it offers a traditional boot, but age makes inspection essential.
