My Focus went a decade before the coolant was changed

It's specified with timing belt service I think, I can't remember but it only got done last year.

Hasn't had a set of pads yet so it's got the original brake fluid in it too with maybe a couple top ups to keep the level up as the pads wear

It's too.slow to need to use brakes.
