Ford Focus Cl Td Di (2000)
2000 Ford Focus Cl Td Di
CarHunch is tracking 192 2000 Ford Focus Cl Td Di vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 2000 Ford Focus diesel is a serious reliability red flag: only 2.4% pass their MOT first time, compared to the UK average of 80%. No dangerous defects are recorded in this cohort, but the near-total failure rate means almost every vehicle needs work before it can legally stay on the road.
At 169,500 miles on average, these cars are old and heavily used, which explains why they're failing—but the virtually zero advisories (preventative issues flagged) suggest problems tend to emerge as outright failures rather than warning signs. If you're considering one, budget for immediate repairs and get a pre-purchase inspection by a diesel specialist, because this model simply isn't passing without intervention.
We have 192 2000 Ford Focus Cl Td Di vehicles on record but don't have enough MOT test data to show reliable statistics for this cohort.
What to check before buying a 2000 Ford Focus Cl Td Di
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
