Avoid the four pot Ford diesel engine with it's rubbish wet DPF and even more rubbish dual clutch automatic gearbox and they're all really robust. Other than that it's the usual 10 year old car checks. The 2.4i is pointless as it has the same economy as the T5 but without the power and torque to make for a relaxing drive.

Any of them will be soggy as hell past 90k if they're on the original suspension. They're very heavy for the Ford Focus suspension setup intended for cars that weigh 75% of what the C70 does, and wear their dampers accordingly.
I am not sure which models have the four pot ford diesels - is it the D3?
