The FORD FOCUS (1998-05) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.8 TDI 90 ZETEC REV 01 is a compact family hatchback from a generation that helped make the Focus a familiar choice on UK roads. Its three-door shape gives it a sportier look than five-door alternatives, while remaining practical for everyday journeys and easy to place among mainstream used hatchbacks. Mycarcheck.com records 21 look-ups covering 17 different VINs, a useful but modest sample of cars checked. The recorded average private-sale value is £400, with average mileage of 124,000 and annual use of 7,000 miles; cars had about four previous keepers on average. These figures are historical snapshots, not a price or condition guarantee. The diesel Focus suits commuters and budget-minded drivers seeking an economical runabout, though three doors are less convenient for rear passengers. Its frugal character and enjoyable drive helped the Focus stand out against rivals such as Vauxhall Astra and Volkswagen Golf.
