What should you know when selling a Ford?

In the Netherlands, Ford is best known for the Fiesta and Focus: two of the most traded used cars, loved for how they drive. Both are now out of production (the Fiesta in 2023, the Focus in 2025), but so many are on the road that there are always buyers. The Kuga is the family SUV, the Puma the small crossover that took over Fiesta buyers, and the Ka a cheap city car.

The best-known engine is the 1.0 EcoBoost three-cylinder. It is frugal and lively, but older versions have a timing belt running in oil and there were coolant problems. Buyers therefore ask about servicing, belt replacement and any replaced engine. The PowerShift automatic in older Fiestas and Focuses also has a mixed reputation. A complete service book and invoices answer those questions up front. Start with a valuation by registration number.

How well does a Ford hold its value?

Fords lose value on average a little faster than Japanese and Korean rivals. Strong demand for Fiestas and Focuses does mean quick sales; sporty ST-Line and ST versions hold their value better.

What do buyers look for in a Ford?

Strengths

  • The Fiesta and Focus are among the most traded used cars in the Netherlands
  • Known for good handling and steering
  • Plenty of parts and garages
  • Roomy estates (Focus Wagon) and SUVs (Kuga) for families

What buyers check

  • 1.0 EcoBoost: wet timing belt and coolant loss on older engines
  • PowerShift automatic (2011–2018): judder or slipping
  • Rust on wheel arches and sills on older models
  • Kuga plug-in: high-voltage battery recall on earlier model years

Tips for the best price

  • Put the date of the last belt replacement in your ad
  • Ask a Ford dealer whether recalls have been done
  • State the exact trim (Trend, Titanium, ST-Line, Vignale)
  • An auction with dealers and private buyers works well for older, high-mileage Fords

FAQ about selling a Ford

Does a Ford with the 1.0 EcoBoost still sell well?

Yes, if you can show the servicing. Buyers know the stories about coolant and the wet timing belt. With invoices for oil changes using the right oil and, on older cars, a replaced belt, you take that worry away. Without a history, a buyer expects a discount.

Are the Fiesta and Focus still made?

No. Fiesta production ended in 2023 and Focus production in 2025. That doesn’t make them harder to sell: parts remain available and many buyers want a familiar, affordable car.

Which Ford is most in demand as a used car?

The Fiesta, with 35,135 used sales in 2025, followed by the Focus with 32,980 (BOVAG/RDC). Among younger cars, the Puma is rising as the choice of former Fiesta buyers.

Is a Ford with the PowerShift automatic worth less?

Often, yes. The dual-clutch PowerShift in 2011–2018 Fiestas and Focuses can judder or slip. A recent check or repair with an invoice helps. Later Fords use a conventional torque-converter automatic with a better reputation.
