About the Ford Focus
The Ford Focus is a the UK's best-selling family hatchback for many years. Verifying its service history before buying or selling is one of the most effective ways to confirm the car has been maintained as claimed.
Focus generations and market history
The Ford Focus launched in 1998 (Mk1) and has been one of the UK's best-selling cars for over two decades. Mk1 (1998-2004), Mk2 (2004-2011), Mk3 (2011-2018), and Mk4 (2018-present, with mid-cycle facelift in 2022) cover the entire model lifespan. The Focus ST and Focus RS hot hatches established Ford's UK performance credentials. The 1.0 EcoBoost three-cylinder turbo petrol (Mk3 facelift onwards, 2014+) has been a particular focus of concern because of the wet timing belt service requirement. The Focus Estate (sports tourer) is popular with families needing more boot space.
Focus-specific service points
Ford Focus service records are widely available because the model is so common. Service intervals are typically every 20,100 km or 12 months. Watch for the 1.0 EcoBoost engine's wet-belt service requirement on later examples — dealers should have logged this. Annual oil service is the bare minimum; pollen filter and brake fluid every 2 years.
Focus years with good record coverage
Reliable digital coverage from Mk2 (2004+) onwards. Mk1 records (1998-2004) may be partial or paper-only depending on supplying dealer. Mk3 (2011+) and Mk4 (2018+) have full digital records.
Year and trim-specific things to check
1.0 EcoBoost (Mk3 facelift from 2014 onwards, Mk4): VERIFY the wet timing belt change at 160,900-241,400 km — single biggest cause of catastrophic engine failure. 1.5 / 2.0 TDCi diesel (Mk3 / Mk4): DPF and EGR cleaning entries critical. Focus ST (1.5 EcoBoost in Mk4, 2.0 EcoBoost in Mk3): oil-service interval discipline important. Focus RS Mk3 (2.3 EcoBoost): head-gasket recall completion essential. PowerShift dual-clutch transmission (some Mk3 / Mk4 variants): fluid service entries.
