GarageScout Take

S. RS identity is paired with a long single-owner record and a Ford-replaced head gasket in 2018, followed years later by a within-spec compression check.

Strengths

  • 2016 was the first model year for the Focus RS in the United States.
  • Recent major service includes a clutch replacement, engine and transmission mounts, belts, front brakes, and a documented compression check.
  • The listing includes a Carfax report and a window sticker.

Watch For

  • The Carfax reports minor left-front damage in September 2016. The seller says a low-speed deer strike led to replacement of the driver’s-side headlight
  • The car has exterior chips and scratches, cracked paint at the front end, lower front-lip scrapes, and a rear-bumper ding. The wheels have curb rash
  • Corrosion is present on the lower control arms and some underbody components, and the plastic undertray is damaged.
  • The seller reports that a front strut may be developing a leak and may need replacement; the rear drive unit fluid may also be due.
