Our Verdict

A strong candidate for buyers seeking a

When inspecting this Focus ST, focus on the service history to ensure the 2.3L petrol engine has been maintained according to manufacturer intervals. Given the performance nature of the ST model, check for signs of heavy use, such as excessive wear on the driver's seat bolsters or pedal rubbers.

While the recent MOT was defect-free, be mindful of the common failure points identified across the wider Focus model data, specifically tyres, road wheel fixings, and brake discs. Ensure the tyres have adequate tread depth and that the wheel bolts are secure and undamaged.

As a 2.3L petrol vehicle, running costs will be higher than a standard Focus. Expect higher fuel consumption due to the performance tuning, and insurance groups for the ST trim are typically higher than base models.

Maintenance costs should be budgeted for performance-grade consumables, particularly tyres and brake components. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, are projected to be significant compared to a standard hatchback.

Start by checking the tyre condition and wheel fixings, as these are the most frequent MOT failure reasons for this model group. Even though this specific vehicle passed without defects in 2025, these are high-wear areas on performance cars.

Inspect the brake discs and pads for uneven wear or scoring. Additionally, because this is a 2022 model, check that all electronic systems and driver aids are functioning correctly, as these are integral to the modern Focus platform.

This 2022 Ford Focus ST, finished in green, presents with 22,709 miles recorded at its most recent MOT in October 2025. Compared to the model aggregate average of 7,119 miles per year, this vehicle's mileage is slightly higher than the statistical average for its age. However, the most recent MOT pass shows no recorded defects, which is a positive indicator for its current roadworthiness.

The Focus model shows an average MOT pass rate of 89.4% across 7,145 analysed vehicles, with common issues relating to tyres and braking components.
