hi all,hope you can help ,i am about to buy a 2009 (jan) focus 1.6tdci estate econetic with 56k on clock,problem is iam being lured over to a focus 2008 (sep) 1.6tdci estate titanium spec but has 75k on clock both are same price ,both have fsh,is 75 k considered a reasonably ok mileage for this model or am istarting to look at a lot more maintenance ,thanks

Hi,

welcome to the forum,

the only costly service task around 70k is the DPF fluid needs topping up and by costly i mean it costs around 200euro extra on the service of the car, theirs not really much difference in mileage on the cars either mate,

ive got a 2010 1.6TDCi with 57,000km on the clock now, and its going great, due it's third service now so im getting ready for the costly eloys fluid to need topping up,

if i was you id go for the titanium spec model because it has alot more features installed,

also if you have the reg, log on to ford etis and it will display the full spec of the ford along with any outstanding recalls or service jobs if applicable on the specific vehicle

Whenever I tried this, you need the VIN not the reg ??

click on the vehicle tab and enter the reg:

Found the problem, doesn't work in Google Chrome. Only shows VIN option so use IE instead !! :)
