What year/spec is the Focus? Look on www.parkers.co.uk for realistic values, but as for a replacement, my mrs' 04 plate Focus 1.8tddi (not the later tdci) does 65mpg on the motorway easily, and you can pick them up for under £1k.
Trouble with diesels is that round town they're thirstier than petrols, so you need to hit the motorway to justify the extra fuel cost.
We bought it at 2 years old for £6k and it's never broken down. Ever. The engine is on 230k and running well.
The only downside is that it's terminally dull, but coming from a bike aren't all cars?

Broken, bruised, forgotten, sore,
too fucked up to care any more.
