Our Verdict
A sensible purchase for those seeking a
When inspecting this specific Blue Focus, pay close attention to the braking system. The January 2026 MOT recorded discoloured front discs and deteriorating brake pad material; you should verify if these issues were rectified following that test. Ensure you request documentation proving the pads and discs were replaced or repaired.
Beyond the brakes, check the condition of the rear registration plate, as the previous MOT noted deterioration. Given the mileage is higher than the aggregate average for this model, ask for a service history to confirm that oil changes and scheduled maintenance have been performed at appropriate intervals to support the 1.0L EcoBoost engine.
The 999cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, likely placing this vehicle in a lower insurance group and tax band compared to larger displacement models. Fuel economy should be competitive for a standard hatchback used for daily commuting.
Maintenance costs for a Ford Focus are generally predictable, though you should budget for routine consumable items like tyres and brakes, which are common maintenance areas. Based on typical usage, an estimated annual running cost would be in the region of £1,100-£1,400, depending on your annual mileage and insurance profile.
Focus your inspection on the front braking assembly. The 2026 MOT specifically highlighted 'front outer brake pad material starting to deteriorate/breaking away' and 'front brake discs slightly discoloured'. Check for any grinding noises or vibrations when braking during a test drive.
Additionally, check the condition of the tyres and headlamps. While this specific vehicle has not failed on these items, they are the most common failure reasons for the Ford Focus model aggregate. Finally, ensure the rear registration plate is clear and compliant with UK standards, as this was flagged as a minor issue in the recent history.
This 2020 Ford Focus (GP69AFV) has covered 26,290 miles since its first registration in January 2020, which is notably higher than the model average of 6,826 miles per year. The MOT history is largely clean, with no defects recorded until the most recent test in January 2026. The vehicle presents as a typical modern petrol hatchback with mileage that suggests regular use rather than long periods of sitting idle.
The Ford Focus shows a 79.2% average MOT pass rate across over one million analysed vehicles, with common issues relating to tyres, headlamps, and anti-roll bars.
