When it comes to the Ford Focus, one of the most important considerations is how long they tend to last. That's why so many folks are asking this question. Well, I'd say that when you purchase a new or pre-owned car, you can expect it to last around 8 years if you take care of it - regular maintenance, oil changes, and other services as needed. After all, taking good care of your vehicle is key to its longevity. We've had customers who have kept their cars running strong even after 10 or 11 years with proper upkeep. But if a car isn't properly maintained over time, then issues may start arising within 6 years of ownership and could become costlier over time. So make sure to keep up with regular maintenance and don't forget about those oil changes!
