Our Verdict
This 2020 Ford Focus is a sensible purch
When inspecting this specific Focus, pay close attention to the tyre condition. The most recent MOT in February 2025 flagged a worn offside front tyre, which suggests that maintenance of consumables may be reactive rather than proactive. Ensure all four tyres have healthy tread depth and are not wearing unevenly, which could indicate alignment issues.
Given the diesel engine and the mileage profile, check for a consistent service history to ensure the timing belt and water pump are managed according to Ford's intervals. Because this vehicle has covered significantly more miles than the average for its age, ask for documentation regarding any major component replacements or routine servicing.
As a 1.5L Euro 6 diesel, this Focus is designed for efficiency on longer journeys. Fuel economy should be competitive for its class, though actual MPG will depend on driving style and load. Being Euro 6 compliant, it remains ULEZ/CAZ compliant in most UK cities, avoiding daily charges.
Insurance groups for the Focus vary, but the 1.5L diesel is typically positioned in a mid-range bracket. Maintenance costs will be influenced by the higher-than-average mileage; expect more frequent tyre replacements and brake pad changes compared to a low-mileage equivalent. Estimated annual running costs are approximately £1,200-£1,500 depending on annual mileage and insurance profile.
Focus your inspection on the tyres and wheels. The 2025 MOT noted a worn offside front tyre, and the 2023 test recorded nails in both the nearside and offside rear tyres. Check for any signs of uneven tread wear which might suggest suspension or tracking issues.
Additionally, while not flagged in this vehicle's history, the model aggregate data identifies headlamps and anti-roll bars as common failure points for the Ford Focus. It is worth checking that the headlamp aim is correct and that there is no excessive knocking from the suspension when driving over uneven surfaces.
Registered in March 2020, this black 1.5L diesel Ford Focus has covered 53,891 miles as of its last MOT in February 2025. The vehicle's mileage is higher than the model aggregate average of 6,822 miles per year, suggesting it has been used more frequently than typical. However, the MOT record shows no major mechanical failures, with recorded issues limited to tyres.
The Ford Focus shows a 79.2% average MOT pass rate across the analysed sample, with common issues often relating to tyres, lighting, and anti-roll bars.
