The Focus in the used market
The Focus is the Fiesta's bigger, cheaper-per-pound shadow: family-hatch practicality with the same enormous supply, and production likewise ended in 2025. Mk3 cars (2011–2018) are the value heart of the market; the Mk4 (2018 on) drives noticeably better but hasn't fully depreciated yet. The 1.0 EcoBoost wet-belt caveat applies here exactly as it does on the Fiesta.

Ford Focus price by year

Value sweet spot: 2015. A 2015 Ford Focus averages £5,243 — 26.6% less than a 2016 — the biggest one-year price drop on this model. Drops this size usually sit where a model changes generation, so the saving buys the outgoing shape — check which body style the year gets you before assuming it’s the same car.
