2006 Ford Focus ST3

Highlights

• In current ownership since just 20,000 miles
• A maximum of two former registered keepers
• Extensive history file
• MOT valid until July 2027

The Appeal

The ST3 was the flagship MK2 Focus. That torquey 2.5-litre 20-valve Turbo and 6-speed manual transmission made it one of the most engaging hot hatches of the 2000s, and comfortable too - after all, the ST3 also boasted heated leather upholstery and adjustable seats. Still capable of thrilling some twenty years later, the ST3 is still highly sought after, and still eminently drivable.

This 2006 example has been in the care of its current keeper since just 20,000 miles, with the odometer now showing 74,000 miles, which appears supported by the impressive service history. A handsomely presented, ready-to-drive classic, complete with a long MOT.
