advice on buying a used ford focus?

[Adrian G]

I am thinking of buying a 2006 (55 reg) FORD FOCUS 1.6 Zetec (115) [Climate Pack] Estate.
One thing about it which concerns me is that it has covered 67493 miles. Is this sort of mileage anything to worry about?The car has a full ford service history

With a full history nothing at all to worry about but check everything is working properly including the aircon before you commit.

my answer is simple Don,t it,s a ford isn,t it Fix Or Repair Daily

I don't think it is, as long as the vehicle has had regular oil and fluid changes.

well on average a car has about 15,000 miles a year, so this car is about 20,000 over that, but id look at a carfax or som,ething like that and see how evrything else runs, if its been running good, then you can go another 100,000+ miles. i just bought a used 2003 with only 30,000 miles, and it was in prestine condition, which is great, and i havent had anyproblem with it. i love it. good luck!!

The mileage is a bit higher than average for a car of that age. Potentially an ex fleet car, but if it has an FSH no real worries, just push the price down. It's a buyers marker for used cars, take full advantage of it.

Not at all, if the milage is counted for.

Ford's last for thousands and thousands of miles, i bought my focus estate with 57000 miles on, it now has 135000.
