Is this Ford an import because it's in miles?

I drove a 2011 Focus today and its mileage clock was in miles. Are all Fords like this or is this car an import from the UK?

Hi Tom,

Not necessarily, as you can switch the mileage clock from miles to kilometres and back again. The usual tell-tale for an import is that the speedo is marked in both mph and km/h. Theoretically, all Irish cars from 2005 onwards will have had just km/h marked, but again it’s not definitive — it could be a replacement instrument pack after all.
