Dave's Verdict

Dave Says: Solid Runner With Minor Wear

Health Score · 74 / 100

This Focus has been well-maintained with consistent mileage and no major failures. There are a couple of recurring advisories around the front suspension bushes that are worth checking at viewing. Overall, this is a sensible buy at the right price.

What buyers are saying

Real feedback from people who used Dave before buying

"The Clio had some advisories I didn't understand and the report explained them clearly. Ended up buying it because they were minor. Good to know either way."

Jenny O.

"Flagged a suspension issue before I even went to see the car. Saved me a wasted trip to the other side of town."

DB

Darren B.

Portsmouth

"No complaints really. Did what it said on the tin. The Duster had a couple of advisories but nothing scary. Good to know before handing over the cash."
