The lifespan of a Ford Focus relies heavily on your maintenance efforts. With proper care and regular maintenance, it can potentially operate for anywhere between 200,000 to 400,000 miles or more. Neglecting maintenance may limit its lifespan to around 50,000 to 150,000 miles. One crucial aspect of maintenance is changing the oil and filter every 3,000 to 5,000 miles to ensure a clean and well-functioning engine. Additionally, you should regularly replace the engine air filter, change fluids like coolant, and inspect the cooling system and hoses to keep your Focus in top condition.

I drive a 2005 Ford Focus with 160,000 miles on it. Lately, it's been making a lot of rattling noises due to loose dash and heat shields. At 120,000 miles, I did a major service which included replacing spark plugs, pulleys, thermostat, water pump, engine mounts, and suspension components. I've been diligent about maintaining the car with regular services every 5000 miles. Despite the rattling, mechanically the car is in great condition, and I'm optimistic it will last me to at least 200,000 miles. There's no rust, and the car still drives smoothly.

I own a 2007 Focus SE Hatchback that I bought with 20,000 miles on it. It currently has 68,000 miles and is running great. I have been diligent about using full synthetic oil and changing it every 5000 miles. It gets around 28mpg in the summer and 21-23mpg in the winter. My only issue is with the airbox - I wish it had a replaceable filter. Overall, though, I really enjoy driving this lively little car!

In 2017, my Ford Focus has 94,000 miles on it, and I recently had it appraised at approximately $6,200. Unfortunately, I encountered a significant issue shortly after the warranty expired when the oil pump's gears broke. The repair cost me $2,300 since the labor was quite extensive due to the pump being located inside the oil tank, requiring nearly half the engine to be dismantled to access it. During this repair, I also had the water pump replaced since it was included in a package deal with the oil pump. My car is an ecoboost automatic, and though I was originally considering trading it in today, I might hold onto it for a couple more years to see how long it lasts.
