Ford Focus2024

• Strong real-world fuel economy and low CO2 tax bands make diesel attractive for long-distance Irish commuters; competitive resale value holding well.
• Priced fairly against market; 26% year-on-year rise reflects strong diesel demand, but verify mileage sits within 24k–44k km range for 2-year-old cars.
• DPF regeneration and EGR carbon buildup are diesel-specific weak spots—check service history for forced regens and use quality fuel only; injector deposits worsen with poor-quality diesel stations.
• Before buying, request full dealer service records confirming DPF regeneration intervals and fuel quality; ask owner if car sees regular motorway use (essential for diesel health).
