A milestone has passed for the Auto Car Maker, Ford this month. An average joe from Austria bought a Ford Focus (1999) 1.8 TDDi and this week it has passed the 1 Million KM mark (621,371 miles), a first for Ford and a real landmark in automotive history. This just proves that Ford cars really are built to last. Apparently the owner of the car says that the car has had no major surgery in the 12 years of ownership and that he has only had the engine revised once, the clutch repaired once and remarkably the rest of the parts are pretty much the same original parts that were put in the car since it was made in 1999!

| A real milestone for Ford and what every auto car maker wants to achieve. |
"This car is a testament to the outstanding quality of the Ford Focus. With the introduction of the Ford Focus in 1998, we have set a milestone in Ford history in terms of dynamics, design, and vehicle quality,” said Ford Austria general director Steffen Knapp.
“This success story is not only continuing with the introduction of the new Ford Focus in April 2011, but leads the Ford offer to the next level in regards to technology, environmental friendliness, safety and vehicle quality."
