Looking for a used Ford in Ireland? The Fiesta, Focus and Puma offer three different ways to approach everyday motoring: a compact hatchback, a versatile family car and a practical crossover. Choosing between them starts with your budget, the journeys you make and the space you actually need.
Bargaindigger.ie helps you compare your options. Explore used Ford cars for sale in Ireland, check individual advertisements and contact the dealer directly to arrange a viewing. Below are two dealer listings to consider, followed by a guide to finding the right Puma.
Ford Fiesta: A Compact Hatchback for Everyday Driving
The Fiesta suits buyers who want manageable dimensions. It is worth considering for commuting, shopping trips and regular town driving, particularly when parking space is limited. Before choosing one, compare the engine, service history and condition rather than relying on the trim badge alone.
Dealer Pick: 2017 Ford Fiesta ST-Line at Barrett Motors
This white 2017 Fiesta is advertised by Barrett Motors in Mountbellew, Co. Galway. The listing describes a 1.0-litre petrol engine, manual transmission and five-door hatchback body. Its advertised price is €9,495, with 201,000 km recorded and NCT listed until February 2027.
ST-Line styling adds a sportier appearance. For a car with this mileage, documented maintenance should be central to your decision. Ask for service invoices, confirmation of the engine’s scheduled maintenance and details of any warranty supplied.

Ford Focus: More Space for Commuting and Family Use
The Focus deserves a place on a family-car shortlist. Buyers moving up from a smaller hatchback can compare its passenger space, luggage capacity and driving comfort with their existing car. Bring the items you regularly carry, such as a buggy or work equipment, when checking practicality.
Dealer Pick: 2017 Ford Focus ST-Line at GE Motors
GE Motors in Gort, Co. Galway, advertises this black 2017 Focus ST-Line for €10,950. The listing specifies a 1.5-litre TDCi diesel engine producing 120 hp, manual transmission and approximately 226,917 km. NCT is listed until March 2027.
The dealer describes equipment including navigation and smartphone connectivity. GE Motors also states that the car will be supplied serviced, checked and with a warranty. Confirm the equipment, servicing completed and written warranty terms before purchasing.
Consider how you will use a diesel. Discuss your typical journey lengths with the dealer and ask about the condition and maintenance of the emissions system. A history of regular servicing is especially important on a higher-mileage example.

Ford Puma: A Crossover Alternative to the Hatchback

The Puma offers another option for buyers considering a compact crossover. If you are comparing it with a Fiesta or Focus, pay attention to the seating position, rear-seat access and boot layout during your viewing. Your everyday needs matter more than choosing a particular body style.
Start with the individual vehicle’s specification. Check its model year, engine, transmission and equipment, and ask the seller to explain any mild-hybrid system fitted. Avoid assuming that every Titanium, ST-Line or other trim has identical features.

Fiesta, Focus or Puma: Which Should You Shortlist?
Choose your shortlist around your daily routine. A Fiesta is worth exploring when compact size is the priority. A Focus merits comparison when you need a more versatile hatchback. A Puma is worth viewing when you prefer a crossover layout.
- Ford Fiesta: compare compact petrol hatchbacks for everyday town use.
- Ford Focus: compare family hatchbacks, engine options and space for longer journeys.
- Ford Puma: compare crossover practicality, seating comfort and the exact specification.

What to Check Before Buying a Used Ford
Ask for evidence of maintenance. Review service invoices and confirm the correct maintenance schedule for the exact engine and registration. Ask what work is due next and whether the advertised price includes that work.
Check the history and inspect the car. Verify mileage, ownership history, outstanding finance and any recorded damage. Review NCT information, but also arrange a mechanical inspection: a valid test does not replace checking the car’s present condition.
Read the warranty before paying a deposit. Establish what is covered, the duration, any claim limits and where repairs must be carried out
