Yes, an 11 year old 1.6 Focus, that's getting the neighbours talking, isn't it? My post was an example of why it might matter if a car has had a lot of owners, sorry if the idea went over your head.

I'm looking at a 2004 (54 Reg) Golf TDI with 4 previous owners including the seller, which would make me the fifth. Is that too high? The seller has owned the car around two years.
that is what you'd expect at that age, remember to check vosa mot history and HPI before handing over the £££.

And? Don't get all snotty about a 2 year old Megane when your own steed is an 11 year old Focus. Your post read like you had a garage full of exotica, I fully expected something interesting when I clicked on your garage, instead I found a teenager trying to be funny.

I tend to change cars less than yearly (well, I used to, a mortgage has seen away with that). In my 5 years of driving I've owned something like 15 vehicles, although I've run two cars alongside each other for a while - three for a few months too.

Anyway, high V5 figures - here's what I saw on my 1982 Mini:
