2008 Ford Fusion 1.6L Petrol · AM08 AGM

This vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status following a pass on 12 January 2026. The maintenance trend appears exceptionally stable. The records show a consistent pattern of passes with no defects or advisories noted across the last four years of testing. A failure occurred on 6 January 2026, but the lack of recorded defects suggests a clerical error or a minor issue resolved immediately prior to the successful retest six days later. The mileage is notably low for an eighteen year old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,401 miles per year. The odometer reading moved from 69,422 miles in January 2023 to 79,223 miles in January 2026. This represents a steady accumulation of approximately 3,266 miles annually over the last three years. Such low usage suggests the car has avoided the heavy wear typically associated with high-mileage commuters, though it can also indicate periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade regardless of mileage. While the MOT history is remarkably clean, vehicles that stand for long periods often suffer from perished rubber seals, seized brake calipers, or flat-spotted tyres. Check for signs of corrosion on the sills and suspension mounting points, as the DVSA records do not flag structural rust, but age remains a primary risk factor for this model. Verify the condition of the engine oil and coolant to ensure regular servicing occurred between the annual tests. The absence of any advisories regarding brake discs or suspension bushes over several years is unusual for a car of this vintage. Confirming that these parts have been replaced as part of a preventative maintenance schedule, rather than simply remaining original and worn, is essential for long-term reliability.
