Tyre issues with Ford Focus
I am looking to buy a 2002 Ford Focus. The front tyres are worn on the inside and one of the rear tyres is worn on both side. The steering wheel is also not centred.
The car drives well and does not pull to one side. The seller tells me the tracking needs doing and the will cure the tyre issue. Is this correct or could there be a more serious problem, such as worn bushes?

A 2002 is 12 years old so there will inevitably be some bush and balljoint wear.
