Thats what most people think about them.Well i just mot'd mine last monday,never did a thing to it except a quick check and it flew through (we don't do advisories here in n ireland,you pass or fail).

Not bad for a 16.5 year old car still running original shocks,never has had a rubber bush fitted or ball joints/track rod ends ,the usual mot stuff and has never been welded.....apart from the usual servicing and wear and tear items,1 radiator ,1 exhaust system,1 cv joint and and a couple of sets of tyres in 11 years its hanging in there ok.

Very under-rated cars, Probes. Love live the Probe!!

2000 'W' Ford Focus 1.4 Zetec, 3dr Hatch. Oddly enough, it's silver too!!
