Our Verdict
This Ford Focus is a solid, well-maintained example that represents a sensible choice for a daily commuter. With a consistent MOT history and sensible mileage, it offers good value provided the service history is complete.
When inspecting this Focus, prioritise a thorough check of the service history, particularly the timing belt replacement interval, which is crucial for the 1.6 diesel engine. Ensure that the engine starts cleanly from cold and that there is no excessive smoke from the exhaust, which could indicate DPF or injector issues common with higher-mileage diesel units.
Negotiate based on any upcoming maintenance requirements. Since the car is now approaching its 12th year, ensure the suspension components and tyres show even wear. A test drive is essential to check for any clutch judder or dual-mass flywheel rattles, which can be expensive to rectify.
The 1.6-litre diesel engine is known for excellent fuel economy, making this an ideal choice for high-mileage drivers or motorway commuters. Depending on the specific CO2 emissions for this variant, you should benefit from relatively low annual Vehicle Excise Duty (VED).
Insurance costs are generally competitive for the Focus range, sitting in a sensible group for most drivers. Budgeting for annual maintenance is key; while Ford parts are widely available and affordable, diesel-specific components like the DPF and EGR valve should be monitored to avoid unexpected repair bills.
While the recent MOT history is positive, pay close attention to the tyres and brakes. The 2025 MOT failure should be investigated in the paperwork to see what was rectified; ensure that any repairs were carried out to a high standard rather than just a quick fix for the test.
Check for any signs of damp in the boot or footwells, as seal failure can occasionally occur on older Focus models. Additionally, inspect the bodywork for any signs of corrosion around the wheel arches and sills, and confirm that all electrical features, including the air conditioning, are functioning as expected.
Registered in October 2014, this black Ford Focus 1.6 diesel has covered 86,666 miles, which is well within the expected range for a vehicle of this age. The MOT history is encouraging, showing a clean pass in April 2026 and only one failure in the last four years. It appears to have been looked after by its previous owners, making it a reliable prospect for a buyer seeking a practical hatchback.
The Ford Focus is widely regarded as a dependable workhorse, though the 1.6 diesel engine requires diligent oil changes to ensure long-term reliability of the turbocharger and DPF systems.
