AI Market Summary

PowerShift gearbox notorious for shuddering at low speeds — many owners report costly replacements. Check for hesitation when pulling away; if present, budget €2,000+ for repair.
DPF regeneration faults are common, especially on cars driven short distances regularly. Confirm full service history and ask seller if warning lights appeared; blockage repairs run €800–€1,500.
EGR valve carbon deposits cause rough idle and hard starting — typical on older diesels. Have a pre-purchase diagnostic scan done to catch this before committing.
At median mileage (193k km), this Focus sits within normal wear range for its age. Pricing is fair; competition exists, so inspect gearbox behaviour and emissions warning lights thoroughly before negotiating.
