Ford Focus VIN Check

Asking prices from 26,812 European listings. The typical column is the median — half the cars advertised that year ask less, half ask more. The range is the 10th to 90th percentile, so it shows what condition, mileage and trim are worth on top of the year alone.

A 2026 Ford Focus typically asks €28,900; a 2016 car asks €9,594, about 67% less. A car priced well under its year's range is usually telling you something — high mileage, a category write-off, an import with a history you cannot see from the advert, or an odometer that has been wound back.

Median odometer reading by model year, from the same European listings. Use it as the reference point for the car you are looking at: an odometer far below the median for its year is the single most common way a used car is misrepresented in Europe.

A 2021 Ford Focus typically shows 81,477 km — roughly 16,295 km a year. A VIN check compares the readings recorded against that specific car over time, so a reading that went down, or a gap that is too clean, shows up as an inconsistency rather than a guess.

What is actually on the European market, from 26,812 listings — not the full factory options list, but the mix a buyer will really be choosing between.

Most common displacements: 1.0 L, 1.5 L, 1.6 L, 2.0 L. Median advertised output: 125 hp.

From the EU's mandatory CO₂ monitoring dataset — every new Ford Focus registered in the EU is counted here. Registration volumes show which years and engines were actually popular, which is what determines parts availability and resale demand later.

CO₂ figures are registration-weighted averages across all trims of that year, on the WLTP cycle where the year has it and NEDC before that. Your car's own figure depends on its specific version.

75 recall campaigns naming this model are on file. A recall is only a problem if it was never carried out — the check that matters is whether this particular car was fixed.
