The FORD FOCUS (1998-05) 5DR ESTATE 2.0 173 ST170 is a rare, performance-flavoured version of Ford’s compact family estate. It combines five-door practicality and a useful load area with the stronger, more engaging character of the ST170, making it stand out from ordinary Focus estates and everyday small wagons such as the Vauxhall Astra Estate. Mycarcheck.com records 105 look-ups covering 47 distinct VINs, giving a useful snapshot rather than a complete picture of every car. In those checks, the average recorded private-sale valuation was £500, average latest mileage was 132,000, and cars had around six previous keepers. These figures suggest checking each example’s condition, history and maintenance carefully. Average annual mileage in the checks was 4,000, though records matter more than averages. This Focus estate suits enthusiasts needing space who still enjoy lively driving. Compared with comfort-focused rivals, its appeal is an entertaining, distinctive package; check age-related condition and upkeep.
