Our Verdict
A strong candidate for buyers seeking a
Given the low mileage and clean MOT history, your primary focus should be on verifying the service intervals. For a 2.3L petrol performance engine like this one, ensuring that oil changes have been performed according to Ford's schedule is more critical than the MOT record itself.
When negotiating, ask for a digital or physical service history to confirm that the low mileage hasn't resulted in neglected maintenance. Because the MOT history shows no issues with tyres or brakes, check the actual tread depth and pad thickness in person, as these are common failure points for the Focus ST model type.
As a 2261cc petrol engine, running costs will be higher than a standard Focus. Expect higher fuel consumption if driven in the performance-oriented manner the ST is designed for. Insurance groups for this model tend to be higher due to the performance specifications.
Maintenance costs should be budgeted for performance-grade components, such as tyres and brake discs, which are noted as common failure reasons in the wider model aggregate data. Annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and maintenance, are estimated to be relatively high compared to a standard hatchback.
While this specific vehicle has no recorded MOT defects, the aggregate data for the Ford Focus ST suggests you should pay close attention to the tyres and road wheel fixings. Check for any uneven tyre wear which could indicate suspension issues.
Additionally, inspect the brake discs and pads closely. Since 'brake disc' is a top failure reason for this model across 7,145 analysed vehicles, ensure there is no excessive scoring or thinning on the discs of this specific blue ST.
This 2020 Ford Focus ST, finished in blue, presents with significantly lower-than-average mileage for its age. With only 17,851 miles recorded at its last MOT in January 2026, it has covered roughly 3,500 miles per year, well below the model average of 7,119. The vehicle has maintained a perfect pass record with zero MOT failures or advisories since its first registration in March 2020.
The Ford Focus ST shows an 89.4% average MOT pass rate across the 7,145 vehicles analysed, with tyres and brakes being the most common points of failure.
