Used Ford Finance
Looking to finance a used Ford? AutoMoney Trust can help you spread the cost of models like the Ford Fiesta, Focus, Puma, Kuga and Mondeo with fixed monthly hire purchase payments.
Ford cars are known for being practical, widely available and generally affordable to run. They may not feel as premium as some higher-end brands, but many used Ford models offer good value, strong parts availability and straightforward maintenance.
The Fiesta and Focus are popular for everyday driving, while the Puma and Kuga offer SUV practicality. The Mondeo can suit drivers who want more space and comfort, especially for longer journeys.
Quality depends on the exact car, not just the badge. A used Ford with good service history, sensible mileage and a clean MOT record can be a strong option. A neglected car with missing history can still become expensive.
For wider budgeting, read running and servicing costs before choosing a used Ford.
Ford is not usually considered a high-maintenance brand compared with premium manufacturers. Parts are widely available, many garages are familiar with Ford models, and popular cars such as the Fiesta and Focus can be straightforward to maintain.
Costs still depend on the exact model, engine, age, mileage and condition. Larger models, SUVs and higher-spec versions can cost more for tyres, servicing, insurance and repairs.
Before applying for finance, check service history, MOT advisories, tyre wear, brakes, suspension and whether any major maintenance is due. A cheaper used Ford may not be the best value if it needs immediate repair work.

Ford and Toyota suit different types of driver. Ford is often chosen for value, availability, driving feel and wide model choice. Toyota is often known for strong reliability, hybrid technology and long-term ownership reputation.
A used Ford may be better if you want more choice on the used market, lower purchase prices on some models and widely available parts. A Toyota may be better if your main priority is hybrid efficiency or long-term reliability.
The best choice depends on the exact car, budget, mileage, service history and how you plan to use it. A well-maintained Ford can be a better buy than a poorly maintained Toyota, and the opposite can also be true.
If you are comparing both brands, used Toyota finance is a useful comparison page before deciding.
The Ford Privilege Scheme is a discount programme that has historically been available to eligible Ford employees, retirees and qualifying family members. It can provide savings on certain new Ford vehicles, but eligibility, vehicle availability and terms can change.
For used car finance customers, the Privilege Scheme may not apply in the same way as it would for a new Ford purchase. If you are buying a used Ford, the key checks are still price, condition, service history, finance cost and affordability.
Before applying for finance, compare the total amount payable rather than focusing only on the vehicle price. Interest, fees, repayment term and wider running costs all affect the overall cost.

Before applying, check your budget carefully. The monthly finance payment is only one part of the cost. You should also consider insurance, servicing, tyres, fuel, repairs and whether the Ford model you want fits your day-to-day use.

If you’ve financed a car and start to notice mechanical problems, it’s important to contact both your finance provider and the dealership where you bought the vehicle. Acting quickly can help get the issue resolved and protect your rights.

Whether you're considering a Ford Fiesta, Focus, Puma, Kuga, Mondeo or another used model, the finance available will depend on factors such as your individual circumstances, the price and age of the vehicle and whether the repayments are affordable for you.
Before choosing a used Ford, it's also worth considering the overall cost of financing the vehicle alongside your monthly repayments. Insurance, fuel, road tax, servicing, tyres, maintenance and potential repairs can vary depending on the model, engine and specification. Smaller models, such as the Fiesta, may have different running costs from larger vehicles such as the Kuga or Mondeo.

The best used Ford to finance will depend on your budget, the amount of space you need, your typical journeys and the overall running costs you can comfortably afford. Ford offers everything from small hatchbacks to crossovers, SUVs and larger family cars, so different models will suit different drivers.
The Ford Fiesta may suit drivers looking for a smaller car for commuting, city driving and everyday journeys. Its compact size can make it easier to park, appealing to first-time drivers or those who don't need the additional space of a huge car.
The Ford Focus provides more passenger and luggage space while retaining the practicality of a hatchback, making it an option for commuters and families.
If you prefer a higher driving position, the Ford Puma is a compact crossover that combines small-car usability with additional practicality. For drivers who need more space, the Ford Kuga is a larger family SUV with additional passenger and boot space.
The Ford Mondeo may suit drivers looking for a larger car with more space and comfort, particularly for regular motorway or longer-distance journeys.
When comparing Ford car finance, consider more than the monthly repayment. Insurance, fuel, road tax, servicing, tyres, maintenance and potential repairs can vary depending on the model, engine and specification.
Many Ford models can be relatively affordable to run, particularly smaller cars such as the Ford Fiesta and Focus. However, the overall cost will depend on the model, engine, age, mileage, condition and how you use the vehicle.
Smaller Ford models may have more manageable fuel, insurance and tyre costs than larger vehicles. Model such as the Ford, Kuga and Mondeo may cost more to run depending on their engine and specification, particularly when it comes to fuel, tyres, insurance and servicing.
Fuel costs will vary depending on the engine, your annual mileage and the types of journeys you regularly make. Insurance can also differ between models and drivers, while higher-specification or more powerful versions may cost more to insure than standard models.
As with any used car, there are also potential faults and maintenance issues to look out for. Depending on the Ford model, age and engine, these can include clutch and gearbox wear, suspension components, electrical issues and problems with infotainment or other electronic features. Certain engine or generations may have their own specific maintenance requirements, so it's important to research the exact vehicle you're considering rather than assuming the same issues apply to every Ford.
The condition and maintenance history of a used Ford can make significant difference to future running costs. Check its service and MOT history, mileage, tyres, brakes and general condition, and look for recurring MOT advisories or maintenance that may soon be required.
If you're considering Ford car finance, look beyond the monthly finance repayment and consider the overall cost of owning the vehicle. Insurance, fuel, road tax, servicing, tyres, MOT costs, maintenance and potential repairs should all be factored into your budget when deciding whether a particular Ford is affordable for you.
Before financing a used Ford, check its service and MOT history, paying particular attention to recurring advisories and whether any important maintenance is due. The checks you need to make can vary depending on the model, engine, age and mileage.
During a test drive, make sure the clutch and gearbox operate smoothly, listen for noises from the suspension and check that the dashboard, infotainment and other electrical features work correctly. Tyre wear can also provide clues about how the car has been maintained or whether there may be alignment about how the car has been maintained or whether there may be alignment or suspension issues.
Think about how the car has previously been used. A high-mileage Mondeo used predominantly for motorway driving may need different checks from a Fiesta mainly used for short urban journeys. For diesel models, consider whether the car's previous use and your own typical journeys are suitable for a diesel engine.
Before arranging Ford car finance, it's also worth checking the vehicle's history for information such as previous write-offs or outstanding finance. If anything about the car's condition or history concerns you, consider getting an independent inspection before committing to the purchase.
