Could suit you if…
- 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 room for several children or extra passengers: the seat count is not recorded. Confirm this exact version's seats and child-seat fit; do not assume from the model name.
- 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 10 years old and 153,200 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.
Most 2016 Focus diesels in Ireland are 1.5 TDCi (or the older 2.0 TDCi) paired with a 5- or 6-speed manual — efficient on long runs but sensitive to short-trip use. Diesel-specific items to watch are the DPF and EGR/intake soot; turbo and injector work can be expensive. Ford parts and independent garages are common here, so sourcing parts and routine repairs is straightforward.
- DPF condition and regeneration history — heavy town use often clogs the DPF
- EGR/intake soot buildup and any turbo oil leaks or shaft play
- Clutch engagement and any judder (diesel Focuses often need clutch/DMF work by high mileage)
- Gearbox synchro and smooth shifting (no crunching into 1st/2nd)
- Suspension bushes, rear shock mounts and corrosion around sills/rear wheel arches
