Common Ford Focus Problems We Buy
The Ford Focus (especially 2011-2018 Mk3 models) has several well-known issues. We understand these problems and pay fair prices.
Powershift Gearbox Failure
2011-2018
The DPS6 dual-clutch transmission causes shuddering, jerking, and complete loss of drive. Most common automatic Focus problem.
1.0 EcoBoost Coolant Leak
2012-2019
Coolant enters the engine via cracked cylinder head or degas pipe, causing overheating and catastrophic engine failure.
1.6 TDCi Timing Belt Failure
2011-2017
Timing belt snaps or slips, causing valves to hit pistons and destroying the engine. Often happens before service interval.
DMF/Clutch Failure
2011-2018
Dual mass flywheel and clutch wear out prematurely on manual models, especially in stop-start traffic.
Turbo Failure
2012-2019
EcoBoost turbos fail due to oil starvation or carbon buildup, causing loss of power and smoke.
Electrical Issues
2011-2018
BCM (Body Control Module) failures cause multiple electrical faults, non-starting, and dashboard warnings.

Scrap yards pay £150-£300 by weight. We pay £1,500-£4,000 based on real value.
Parts in Demand
