Ford Focus, 2011, Vaasa

Looking for a car that isn’t fazed by miles or frost? Here it is: a Ford Focus Wagon that has seen 395,000 km of Finnish roads and is ready for more adventures. This isn’t a showpiece but an honest, practical car with sensible equipment rather than flashy extras.

Why bid on this Focus?

• Winter equipment sorted: This example has a working Webasto. Yes, really. It also has a heated windscreen, so you can forget frozen fingers and scraping in the mornings.

• Clear view: The windscreen was recently replaced with a new one. The world looks noticeably clearer without cracks and stone chips.

• Economy champion: The 1.6 TDCi engine and 6-speed manual keep running costs down. CO2 emissions are a modest 109 g/km.

• Room to spare: The estate body swallows sports gear, shopping bags and even mother-in-law’s moving boxes.

Equipment and specs:

• Air conditioning and Start/Stop system

• Seat heaters (comfort matters)

• Front electric windows (rear windows are the traditional manual crank ones that never break)

• Summer tyres: Reasonably good Linglongs on alloy wheels.

• Winter tyres: Included with their own wheels (condition uncertain, but they come as a bonus!).

Note (honesty first):

The car has age and experience, visible in typical spots: there is some "characterful" rust on the arches and tailgate, but overall it’s reasonably tidy for its age and mileage. There is one key, but it’s the important one that starts the car. The vehicle inspection is valid for more than four months, so there’s plenty of driving time before the next check.

Great for commuting, as a first car or even as a substitute for a work van. Bid to secure a piece of reliable Ford history!
