Should you buy a used Ford Focus Zetec Td Di?

The Ford Focus Zetec Td Di has an overall MOT pass rate of 64.9% across 422 real MOT tests — below the UK average, so reliability should be a key concern.

A typical Ford Focus Zetec Td Di owner drives around 4,566 miles per year. If the car you're looking at is significantly above this, expect more wear on suspension, brakes and tyres. If it's well below, the vehicle may have been sitting unused — check for perished rubber, corroded discs and stale fluids.

Before committing to a purchase, we recommend running a full vehicle history check on the specific car. This will reveal any outstanding finance, stolen markers, write-off history and mileage discrepancies that the seller may not disclose — and that the MOT data alone can't tell you.
