Are you thinking of buying a used medium sized family car? Then the Ford Focus is a popular option. AutoUncle has 16,708 used Ford Focus for sale in the UK, collected from online marketplaces and different dealership websites, meaning you get more or less a total listing of all pre-owned Ford Focus for sale in the United Kingdom.

What is the price range for a used Ford Focus?

The American car is valued at different prices based on primarily on four factors: the year, the model's fuel consumption, number of miles and how much equipment the car has.

The price of a used Ford Focus ranges from £695 for the cheapest model to £28,999 for the latest and most well-equipped model.

Equipment variants for Ford Focus

FOCUS THIRD GENERATION FACELIFT is the latest generation of the Ford Focus and was introduced in 2015. The model comes in the following equipment levels:

• Ford Focus ST-Line (3,606 cars for sale)
• Ford Focus Titanium (2,105 cars)
• Ford Focus Zetec (1,880 cars)
• Ford Focus ST (956 cars)
• Ford Focus Titanium X (681 cars)
• Ford Focus Vignale (391 cars)

When looking for the best car deal for a used Ford Focus, it is important only comparing the deals of cars with a similar equipment variant and engine size. If you don't, you might end up reaching a wrong decision on which car to acquire.

As a guide, the most expensive equipment variant, named Vignale (Avg. price £25,080), is 35% more expensive than the cheapest variant, Zetec (Avg. price £11,672), so you can save an average of £13,408 by choosing the cheapest variant. Typically, the depreciation is worse for the expensive equipment variant when buying a new Ford Focus, as dealerships don't value equipment at the same level when reselling the car.

The fuel efficiency is 35% better than the average for similar cars

An ordinary small sized family car in the United Kingdom drives 37 miles per gallon, but the latest generation of the Ford Focus outperforms the average and drives an average of 57 miles on one gallon of petrol.

In order to choose the right fuel type, you need to ask yourself the following questions: Do you tend to drive in the city or on open roads and motorways? How many miles do you drive in an average week? If you take many short trips or tend to use your car in the city, you should prioritise hybrid, electric or petrol cars.

On the other hand, if you drive many miles each week, we would advise you to choose diesel. Note that in some countries, high-emission diesel engines have been banned from entering certain cities.

A popular body type for the Ford Focus is the hatchback

The Ford Focus comes in various body types, hatchback being the most popular. Hatchbacks are compact cars that pair great driving with the flexibility of having space. High fuel efficiency makes hatchbacks popular with people living in cities, as does the fact that they’re easy to park.

On AutoUncle you will find most Ford Focus in the colour black and we currently have 2,468 cars for sale in that colour.

Blue is a beautiful colour, and a darker colour calls for less washing and cleaning as it can be difficult to spot dirt and mud on blue cars.
