Our Verdict
A solid option for those seeking a relat
When inspecting this specific vehicle, verify that the tyre issues noted in the 2025 MOT (specifically the nearside rear and offside front issues) were fully addressed with new rubber. Ask for receipts or photographic evidence of these replacements to ensure the defects were rectified properly.
Given the mileage is significantly higher than the aggregate annual average for this model, check the service history to ensure the 1.0L EcoBoost engine has received regular oil changes. At 45,000 miles, you should also look for evidence of recent brake inspections and suspension checks, as these are common areas for wear in higher-mileage hatchbacks.
The 999cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, typically placing this Focus in a lower insurance group and tax band compared to larger capacity models. Fuel economy should be competitive for a modern hatchback used for mixed driving.
Maintenance costs for this model are generally predictable, though at this mileage, you may soon encounter costs related to consumables like brake pads, discs, or potentially a battery replacement. Estimated annual running costs are moderate, reflecting its status as a standard petrol commuter.
Focus your inspection on the tyres; the 2025 MOT history specifically flagged issues with sidewall cracking, cuts, and uneven wear on the offside front and nearside rear. Ensure all four tyres have deep, even tread and no signs of perishing or sidewall damage.
Additionally, check the suspension components and steering. While no defects were recorded in the 2024 or 2026 tests, the increased mileage compared to the model average means components like bushes and dampers may have seen more use than a typical 2021 Focus.
This 2021 Blue Ford Focus has covered 45,365 miles since its registration in March 2021, which is above the model average of 6,873 miles per year. While the 2025 MOT highlighted several tyre-related defects, the most recent test in January 2026 showed no defects. It represents a higher-mileage example of the 1.0L petrol variant.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 79.1% MOT pass rate, with tyres and headlamps being common reasons for failure.
