This vehicle is recorded as a previous Category S, which was professionally repaired prior to my ownership. Since then, it has passed all MOTs without issue, including the most recent MOT with zero advisories. The car has also benefited from significant recent mechanical work, including a new timing chain and a fully refurbished gearbox, providing peace of mind for the next owner. Any cosmetic imperfections have been reflected fairly in the asking price.
This 2020 (69) Ford Focus 1.0 EcoBoost is finished in metallic grey and has covered just 38,000 miles. Owned since 19,500 miles, the vehicle has been mainly used for commuting and has proven to be reliable and economical.
This example benefits from the revised FOX engine, featuring a timing chain rather than the earlier wet belt, making it a more desirable and dependable version. The car drives very well and offers selectable driving modes including Eco, Normal and Sport.
There has been significant recent investment to ensure the car is mechanically sound. A new timing chain was fitted in March 2025 at a cost of 1,200, and the gearbox was professionally refurbished to as-new condition at a cost of 1,140 July 2025. The car has also had a full service, a new battery, and all four tyres replaced within the last six months.
The vehicle benefits from a number of tasteful upgrades including a digital instrument cluster, automatic windscreen wipers, full leather interior with red stitching, a fully electric driver's seat, red brake calipers, and a self-opening boot with upgraded struts. A rubber boot liner is also fitted. The original parts, including the analogue speedometer and fabric seats, are included if required.
Standard specification includes Ford SYNC 3 infotainment with touchscreen, CarPlay/Android auto connectivity , voice control also works with Siri on apple carolay , Bluetooth, DAB radio, USB connectivity, cruise control, and steering wheel-mounted controls.
The car comes with a spare alloy wheel and tyre, as well as an unused near-side suspension kit. The 17" grey alloy wheels would benefit from a light refurb, and the front bumper requires a repair and respray (quoted 250-300), which has been reflected in the asking price.
