2014 Ford Focus 1.6 TDCi Zetec Hatchback

Description

So, I’ve been keeping this car for a few years now — it’s a 2014 Ford Focus 1.6 TDCi, diesel, five-door hatchback with manual gearbox. It’s not flashy, but it’s solid. I’ve got it running smooth, and the 1.6L engine is reliable — not a huge power beast, but gets around well, especially on the road and in the country. Fuel economy’s decent at around 67mpg, so if you’re doing a lot of driving, it’ll save you money.

I’ve had it serviced seven times — all documented — and the service history is clean. There’s a spare key too, so no hassle if you need to hand it over or borrow it. The 16-inch alloy wheels look good, and they’re not just for show — they help with handling, especially on twisty bits.

Safety’s good on this one: ABS, EBD, ESP, EBA, airbags front and side, curtain airbags, and even a decent alarm. The interior’s practical — seats are comfy, the driver’s seat has lumbar and height adjustments, and the rear seats fold down easily. I’ve got a Bluetooth handsfree, USB port, and a DAB radio with Ford SYNC — so it’s not just about getting from A to B, it’s about having a bit of tech on board without overcomplicating things.

It’s got a 3-month warranty on parts and labour, and it’s HPI clear — no red flags. I’ve also got a mini steel spare wheel and heated washer jets, which come in handy in winter.

I’m selling it because I’m moving house and just need to get rid of it. It’s not a show car, but it’s been well looked after and I’ve used it for most of my local trips. I’m based in Choppington, Northumberland, so if you’re in the area or nearby, I’d be happy to meet up and show you how it drives.

Price is £3,861 — fair for what it is, and I’m open to part exchange if you’ve got something you’d like to swap. No pressure, just a car that works and has been reliable.

If you’re interested, just give me a call — I’ll make sure you can see it before you decide. No fluff, just a real, honest talk about what it’s like to drive and how it fits into your life.

(PS: I’m not selling through a big dealership — it’s just me, and this car. I’ve kept it simple, and I’m not looking for a fancy price tag — just a good deal for someone who wants a reliable, no-nonsense hatchback.)
