Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
When inspecting this Focus ST, focus on the condition of the performance tyres and brake discs, as these are the most common failure points across 7,145 analysed vehicles of this model. Ensure the service history is complete, as the 2.3L engine requires strict adherence to oil change intervals to maintain performance. Check for any curb damage to the road wheels, another common issue noted in aggregate data.
The 2.3L petrol engine offers high performance but will result in higher fuel consumption and insurance premiums compared to standard Focus models. As a Euro 6 AP vehicle, it meets modern emissions standards, but the larger engine size places it in a higher tax bracket.
Typical annual costs will be driven by premium fuel requirements and the relatively frequent replacement of high-performance tyres. Maintenance costs for the ST variant are generally higher than the standard range due to the upgraded braking and suspension components.
Check the tyre tread depths and the condition of the brake discs specifically, as these are top failure reasons for this model. Inspect the road wheel fixings to ensure they are secure and undamaged, as this is a recorded weak point in aggregate data.
While the October 2025 MOT was passed without defects, a physical check of the tyre sidewalls for scuffing is advisable given the vehicle's performance nature and the 24,020 miles covered.
This 2022 Green Ford Focus ST features a 2.3L petrol engine and has covered 24,020 miles. Its first MOT in October 2025 was passed without any defects recorded. Compared to the model average of 7,088 miles per year, this vehicle is slightly more used but aligns well with typical driver patterns for this variant.
The Focus ST has a respectable aggregate MOT pass rate of 89.5% across over 7,000 analysed vehicles.
