Description
I have for sale our EXCELLENT BELOVED Ford focus Style. It has covered 107k BUT BEFORE YOU SCROLL AWAY, YOU MIGHT WANT TO READ THE DESCRIPTION FIRST.
This car has been in the family for 16 years! My Mrs purchased her on the 21st of June 2010 at just 8000 miles and has been her car until June 2025. When I say this has been the MOST RELIABLE car I've ever known its no exaggeration. In the 16 years of ownership, 5 other cars have come/gone (including a Vauxhall Shitsingnia )
I can only ever recall 2 breakdowns one in 2012 ( needed a new spark plug ) and then again in 2026 ( needed a new starter motor ).
This car has taken us ALL OVER the country with lots of fond memories. Our two girls practically grew up in her and in-fact are gutted we are letting her go. So how come she has lasted so long? ..READ ON

The car as it stands is absolutely rock solid and will easily provide many more years of service. The interior condition is 8.5/10 (no rips or tears). The exterior as you would expect has got some age related marks here and there. Mileage might increase slightly as very occasionally, I still drive it just to keep it ticking over.
Last service was at 102k miles and currently has 12 months MOT/FULL SERVICE HISTORY
