Median per year. New price: what the car cost new in the Netherlands, the RDW catalogue price (incl. VAT, BPM and factory options, without delivery costs). For cars imported used: the Dutch catalogue price of that version. Value kept: asking price divided by the car’s own new price. Drop per year: value kept against the next newer year; a plus means that year asks relatively more. Older cars have more miles, which is part of the drop. * Fewer than 5 cars: indicative only. Asking prices, not sale prices.

Who buys a used Ford Focus?

With 32,980 used sales in 2025, the Focus is one of the most traded cars in the Netherlands (BOVAG/RDC). The Wagon (estate) in particular is popular with families and commuters: roomy, pleasant to drive and affordable. Many Focuses come off lease with high mileage but full dealer history. The fourth generation (2018–2025) with the 8-speed automatic is most in demand.

Buyers look at the engine and gearbox. The 1.0 EcoBoost calls for proof of good maintenance; the Mk3’s PowerShift automatic has a mixed reputation, while the Mk4’s 8-speed automatic is well regarded. ST-Line trims with adaptive cruise control and camera fetch more. Use the net proceeds tool to see whether an auction or private sale leaves you with more.

FAQ about the Ford Focus

Which Focus automatic is best?

The 8-speed torque-converter automatic in the Focus Mk4 (from 2018) has the best reputation. The dual-clutch PowerShift in the Mk3 can cause problems; an invoice for a recent check or repair helps you sell.

Is a Focus Wagon worth more than a hatchback?

Usually. Estates are popular with families and business drivers in the Netherlands, so a Wagon attracts more buyers and often sells faster.

Can I still sell a Focus with 250,000 km?

Yes, but expect a lower price. With a logical odometer record, a recent APK and invoices for major services there are buyers, often traders or exporters. An auction quickly shows what it will fetch.
