Pitfalls of an ex-lease Focus?
I am proposing to purchase a Focus that has done 55,000 miles from the lease company, it has been used by a colleague and has been trouble free and is in good condition. It is on an 07 plate and the price will be about £3,900. Are there any particular issues with this model that I should be aware of before going ahead?
