A Focus here has usually had a job. School runs with a caravan in August, or a boot full of tools and two hundred thousand kilometres of motorway. Both sell. Neither needs tidying up first.
The third generation, 2011 to 2018, and the fourth, 2018 to 2025, cover nearly all of the Dutch used market, and the estate, badged Wagon, is the version that moves most readily. A practical car this size with a towbar on the back has a steady audience in a country where a caravan or a boat trailer is an ordinary thing for a household to own.
Ford ended Focus production in 2025, which has no effect on selling one today. There are enough here that parts and buyers are both easy to come by. What sets the price is the body style, the engine, and how hard the car has been worked.
We will not quote a number on this page, it would be stale within weeks. These are the things that genuinely shift what we offer.
A fitted towbar, detachable or fixed, adds to a Focus Wagon in a way it would not to a small hatchback. The same goes for a second set of wheels on steels for winter, roof bars and a boot liner. List all of it, because these are things the next owner would otherwise have to go out and buy.
The 1.5 and 1.6 TDCi were bought by people who cover distance, and they hold up well doing it. The particulate filter is the weak spot on a car that only does short hops. Emission class also decides whether the car is allowed into the milieuzone in Amsterdam, Utrecht or The Hague, which thins out the audience for the older diesels.
Years of a loaded boot or a trailer on the back show up in the rear springs, the bushes and the tyres. A knock over speed bumps and uneven wear across the rear tyres are the usual signs. Both are cheap to put right and both are worth mentioning, because otherwise we find them on the day.
Ex-work cars come with a scratched load area, a missing boot floor panel, screw holes in the plastics where a rack used to be. Photograph the back of the car with the seats folded. It is far better that we see it now than that we discover it later.
The register covers the facts. The rest of it is only in your head, so this is the part of the request worth a minute.
For the same year and engine, usually yes. Demand for a practical car this size stays steady here and the Wagon is what people search for. You do not have to tell us which you have, the register holds the body style.
Say so in the request. A detachable towbar with no ball is a towbar nobody can use, and a replacement is not free. It is a small deduction, and a small deduction now beats a surprise at the handover.
Yes. A worked interior is ordinary on a Focus and it does not stop a sale. Photograph the load area, say whether anything was bolted through the floor, and the offer accounts for it from the start.
No, and we would honestly prefer you did not. A repair done to lift a sale price hardly ever earns back what it costs. We price the car in the state it is in. A quick hoover is welcome and nobody is counting on it.
Your number plate is all we need to start.
