How many more years can a 2007 Ford Focus be driven?
1 Answers
Ford Focus can be driven for a long time if well maintained, even over ten or fifteen years, and 600,000 kilometers is also no problem. Factors affecting the lifespan of a car: Wear and corrosion; aging, non-metal material components such as rubber and plastic parts will age due to prolonged use and temperature effects, leading to a significant decrease in strength, becoming brittle or cracked, and easily damaged or rendered useless. Additionally, aging of electrical components can easily cause faults in the electrical system; damage from traffic accidents, the economic lifespan of a car refers to the mileage and years of use when a comprehensive economic analysis shows it is no longer economically reasonable and the cost of use becomes higher. Methods to extend a car's lifespan: Regular oil changes; keeping the interior clean and dry; timely rust-proof maintenance of brakes, fuel supply, and other chassis components; regular car washing to prevent corrosion in unclean areas; timely touch-up and polishing of car scratches; ensuring all necessary lubricants are sufficient and clean.
