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.
- You want practical access for everyday shopping and bags: the hatchback opening may suit your routine. Check actual boot space.
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.
This is general guidance about this type of car and your needs — not an inspection or approval of this individual car.
Most 2018 Focus diesels in Ireland are the 1.5-litre TDCi (EcoBlue from around 2018) or the older 2.0 TDCi, paired with a 5- or 6-speed manual. Diesel Focuses are efficient on long runs but can suffer from DPF and EGR carbon-related issues if used mainly on short, stop-start trips; clutch wear is the common manual-transmission maintenance item on higher-mileage examples. Late-2018 cars may be the new-generation Focus with updated SYNC infotainment and lighter engines — check which generation you’re being shown.
- DPF/EGR signs — ask for evidence of regular long runs or recent successful regenerations and watch for persistent warning lights or heavy soot/black smoke on start-up
- Clutch condition — check engagement point and for slip under mid-range acceleration, plus look for any clutch-replacement receipts on higher-mileage cars
- Turbo health — listen for whine or rattles, check for blue/black smoke under acceleration and any sudden loss of boost
- Gearbox operation — ensure smooth shifts through all gears and no crunching or popping (synchro wear shows up on 2nd/3rd on older manuals)
- Underbody and wheel-arch corrosion — inspect sills, rear arches and suspension mounting points, especially on Irish salted roads
