Our Verdict
This is a strongly recommended purchase for a nearly new Ford Focus with a clean MOT record. The low mileage and recent first MOT pass suggest the vehicle has been well looked after in its early life.
Given the vehicle's age and single clean MOT, focus your buying checks on documentation rather than mechanical faults. Obtain the full service history from new, as a 2023 car should have had at least one scheduled service by Ford main dealer or reputable garage to maintain warranty and resale value. Confirm the V5C logbook matches registration YW23AEJ and that the grey paintwork and 999cc engine details align with the recorded specification. Negotiate on the basis of the low mileage and clean MOT, but be aware that late-model Focus values are stable so discounts may be modest.
The 999cc three-cylinder petrol engine in this Focus is among the more economical variants, with real-world fuel economy typically in the high 40s to low 50s mpg, keeping weekly fuel costs reasonable for a compact hatchback. As a Euro 6 AP petrol, road tax is priced in the lower bands for a 2023 car, and insurance group is likely moderate for the model range. Estimated annual running costs including fuel, tax, insurance and routine maintenance are around £900-£1,100, though this depends on annual mileage and location.
The MOT history shows no failures or defects, so there are no specific failure types from the record to investigate on this vehicle. As a general check on a 2023 Focus with 9,048 miles, inspect the grey bodywork for minor parking scuffs and verify tyre condition matches the low wear expected at this mileage. Check the 999cc engine starts cleanly with no warning lights, and confirm the cabin and electronics function as a late-model car should given its limited use.
The 2023 Ford Focus (registration YW23AEJ) is a grey, 999cc Euro 6 petrol hatchback first registered in June 2023. Its only MOT to date, conducted on 24 June 2026 at 9,048 miles, passed with no defects recorded. With just over 9,000 miles in three years, the mileage is well below typical averages for its age, supporting a favourable value proposition for a late-model used car.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Ford Focus to provide a model-wide assessment.
