Our Verdict
A highly recommended purchase. This 2020
Focus on verifying the full service history for the 999cc engine, as consistent oil changes are vital for the longevity of this power unit. Check for any evidence of previous bodywork repairs to ensure the red paint remains consistent across all panels. Given the clean MOT record, verify that the current tyre tread depths are sufficient, as tyres are a frequent failure point for this model.
The 999cc engine is designed for efficiency and is Euro 6 DG compliant, ensuring it meets modern emissions standards and avoids most urban charge zones. Insurance groups for the 1.0L Focus are typically modest, and the small engine size generally keeps annual road tax costs competitive.
Typical maintenance will involve standard annual servicing and consumables. Based on the engine size and fuel type, the annual expenditure is expected to be moderate, primarily driven by fuel consumption and insurance premiums.
While this specific vehicle has no recorded MOT defects, you should still inspect the tyres and headlamps, as these are the most frequent failure points for the Focus across the wider fleet. Check the underbody for any early signs of corrosion, which is a known common issue for this model, despite the clean test history.
Additionally, test all electronic functions within the cabin and inspect the exterior red paintwork for any signs of fading or stone chips. Ensure the brakes are operating smoothly, as these are standard wear items not highlighted in the clean MOT passes.
This red 1.0L petrol Focus has covered 50,545 miles since its first registration in August 2020. The MOT history is notably clean, showing four passes without a single recorded defect or advisory. While the total mileage is slightly higher than the model average, the absence of historical MOT failures makes it a compelling option.
The Ford Focus has an average MOT pass rate of 79.1%, with the most common failures relating to tyres, headlamps, and corrosion.
