Looks like a very good deal for an auto which is rare.
8000 miles a year, 24 months £250 deposit, £195 a month.
I calculate that to be £4735 excluding any fees they may charge
As with any car it will divide opinions but I think this is a decent car.

Is the car yours to keep at the end of the 24 month period, like a mobile phone contract?

For clarity, this is a leasing contract. When you lease, you don't own squat.

This seems a good deal... Any opinions on this? Is it a focus sized car? a 1.5 seems little modest... Currently got a 2l Mondeo, but this is tempting to change...

Comparable to a Mercedes A180 I believe..

Closer to the GLA I believe, although this isn't the QX version that gets the macho body cladding.
The Engine is the 1.5 diesel that's ubiquitous throughout the Renault-Nissan range and used in Mercedes' small cars. It's not the newest of engines but pretty good. We had this engine a few years ago in a bigger Grand Scenic and it was fine.
The DCT auto gearbox software wasn't perfect and it'd occasionally change at the wrong time causing high revs but I don't know is the Q30 is using the same gearbox, let alone whether it's been refined. I believe Ford's powershift had similar quirks if your Mondeo is an auto.
and GLA / CLA also based on similar platform as A class I understand. They know how to get their money's worth.

It'll probably have less torque than your current Mondeo and if you're the sort that likes powerful engines it may not be for you, there are some technical details here (it's the 81KW version): http://www.powertrain.renault.com/application/storage/upload/filemanager/brochure/brochure_engine_new/Brochure_1500_dCi_c_2014.pdf
