2014 Ford Focus titanium navigator

Hi, I was wondering what people's thoughts were on me buying a Ford Focus Titanium navigator 2014

Great idea, you go for it... 🤣

That's quite a vague question really!  Is it an early facelift version or a late pre facelift?  Which engine does it have? 

Are there any questions you're particularly wondering about (MPG, common faults, servicing schedules, etc?)

Hi, It's a 1.6 diesel old shape  I was just really wondering what people thought of their reliability

Engine reliability is pretty good on them, it's really only fuel injectors that fail regularly, very few problems with anything else.

The clutch and gearbox is a bit weak and there are known faults with both so check the clutch operation is good and there aren't any horrible whines or rumbles from the 'box.

Aside from mechanicals, the AC is often broken with leaks that can't be found so absolutely make sure the AC works when you test drive it.  The other common issues are water leaks, particularly into the boot and spare wheel well, and intermittent electrical 'niggles' with the audio, horn, steering wheel buttons etc.  So it's worth checking for those too.

Thanks pal, is there a year that you would recommend?
