2022 Ford Focus Trend 1.0L Petrol · SN22 JYV

The 1.0L petrol engine is generally positioned in a lower insurance group and tax band, making it economical for daily commuting. Fuel economy should be relatively efficient for a hatchback of this size.

Maintenance costs for this model typically involve standard consumables like tyres and brakes, which we have seen appearing in the MOT history. Expect annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing, to sit in the moderate range for a small petrol hatchback.

Specifically inspect the rear braking components. The MOT history for SN22JYV explicitly mentions thin pads (less than 1.5mm on the offside rear) and pitted/scored rear discs in May 2026. Even though it passed subsequently, check for any pulsation in the brake pedal or unusual noises when braking.

Also, check the headlamp alignment. A previous failure noted the nearside headlamp aim was too low. Ensure both headlights are correctly levelled and functioning. Finally, because the 2025 and 2026 tests both noted child seats preventing a full inspection of the rear adult seatbelt, you should manually test the tension and locking mechanism of the rear belts to ensure they are fully functional.
