Our Verdict

This 2005 Ford Focus offers a clean recent MOT history but carries risks due to high mileage and limited reliability data. A thorough pre-purchase inspection is essential to confirm mechanical integrity.

Prioritise checking the service history for regular maintenance records, particularly oil changes and suspension servicing. Negotiate based on the 104,242-mile count, which exceeds typical mileage for a 2005 model. Insist on a full mechanical inspection to verify the condition of the 1988cc engine and address the 2017 shock absorber oil misting. Be cautious of potential electrical or cooling system issues common in older Fords.
