Spanner can help turn your car details into an advert.
Could suit you if…
- Your usual group fits within 5 seats, including the driver. Check passenger space and any child-seat fit in person.
- You regularly make longer journeys: diesel may fit that pattern better than a routine of mostly short trips. Compare actual running costs.
Think twice if…
- You need to carry more than 5 people together: the advert records 5 seats, including the driver.
- Most journeys are short school runs or local trips: check whether this diesel has a particulate filter and what longer runs its handbook requires.
- You need predictable ownership costs: at around 14 years old and 135,163 km, check maintenance records and upcoming work. Mileage alone does not tell you the car's condition.
This is general guidance about this type of car and your needs — not an inspection or approval of this individual car.
This is the Mk3 Focus era (2011‑2018) — common diesel options are 1.6 and 2.0 TDCi paired with a manual gearbox. Diesels of this age commonly show DPF and EGR soot issues if mostly used for short trips, and the clutch/dual‑mass flywheel can need replacement on higher‑mileage cars. Saloon versions exist but are less common than hatchbacks, so prices can be a touch lower for equivalent specification.
- DPF condition and evidence of regular long runs (look for frequent regenerations or heaviness of soot deposits)
- EGR/turbo behaviour — check for smoking on acceleration, turbo play and soot in the inlet
- Clutch feel and any slip; ask about dual‑mass flywheel replacement history
- Confirm whether the engine uses a timing belt or chain and inspect the timing-service history (interval may have passed for a 2012 car)
- Underbody and rear‑arch corrosion, plus suspension bushes/track‑rod play typical for a 14‑year‑old car
