GarageScout Take
S. model year and an unmodified factory configuration mark the end of the third-generation ST in its original form, with maintenance documented through 69,677 miles. Against that, the Carfax-recorded 2024 front-end incident comes with bumper and wheel scuffs, a burned passenger seat, and corrosion on some underside components.
Strengths
- The 2018 model year was the Focus ST's final U.S. model year.
- Carfax shows a consistent service history, including rear brake replacement, rotor resurfacing, and brake-fluid service in November 2024.
- The seller reports ownership from October 2018 through the listing, with approximately 69,300 miles added during that period.
Watch For
- The Carfax report records minor front-end damage from a July 2024 accident; the seller says the car rolled into another vehicle.
- The exterior has chips and front-bumper scuffs, along with scratches on the wheels.
- The passenger seat shows wear and a burn from a dropped vape coil.
- Corrosion is present on some underside components.
