- The Ford Focus went on sale all the way back in 2005, but it’s a car that’s popular and very much remains a good used buy choice on a tight budget. The styling was diluted somewhat compared to the edgy original 1998 version. On the up-side however the whole package gained a notable uplift in terms of the three F’s – fit, finish and feel.

Some 1.6-litre petrol models can suffer from a slight misfire and juddering sensation when driving around town. Can be sourced to a defective Mass Air Flow (MAF) or Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor, and aren’t always accompanied by an engine light on the dashboard. Failure of either doesn’t always log a fault code on the ECU, so if it doesn’...
Heater bulkhead drains can block up causing water to run down to the passenger carpet. Rear lamp units, tailgate seals and tailgate hinges are known to cause water ingress in the back too. A stale-smelling interior is a big giveaway.
Rear wishbone bushes fail on hard-driven cars. Listen out for chattering noises from the rear and observe for uneven rear tyre wear. Aftermarket exhaust systems can also bring rattling sounds into the cabin – especially the cat heat shield.
Make sure everything works. Fragile wiring to the heated screen can cause its total or part failure. A non-working rear wash wiper may point to crushed wiring in the tailgate loom sleeve near the roof hinge.
Rear wheel bearings were improved on the Ford Focus Mk2 but can often be misdiagnosed as faulty. Cheap or part-worn tyres can cause cabin noise that sounds like a wheelbearing issue. Aforementioned suspension problems may also cause a similar noise owing odd tyre wear patterns.
Ease of servicing means that competent DIY repair is simple. Remain vigilant for lack of paperwork with regards to service history if the owner claims to have undertaken their own routine maintenance.
Pay close inspection to front and rear parts of the sils. Stonechips and road salt are starting to eat away at the edges of the bodywork. Poor-quality body repairs and paintwork stick out like a sore thumb.
The 1.6 Ti-VCT petrol unit uses a rubber cambelt (all other Mk2 Focus models have a camchain). Replacement is scheduled for every 36,000 miles otherwise a quick and noisy death will occur. Replacement mustinclude the tensioner so ensure this to be the case if it’s advertised as recently changed.
