2008 Ford Fusion 1.4L Petrol · CA08 AAF

The vehicle currently holds roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 10 June 2025 at 57,536 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently passed without recorded defects over the last three years. While the record shows failures in both 2024 and 2025, the lack of specific defect data on those failures suggests they were likely minor items that were rectified immediately prior to retest rather than systemic mechanical failures. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eighteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,196 miles per year. Between June 2023 and June 2025, the car covered only 1,534 miles, moving from 56,002 to 57,536 miles. This extremely low rate of use indicates either infrequent travel or long periods of inactivity. While this reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it often increases the risk of degradation in rubber-based parts and fluid systems, which occurs due to age rather than mileage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on areas where age-related decay bypasses mileage-related wear. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as low-use vehicles often suffer from seized calipers. Inspect the suspension bushes and ball joints for cracking or dry-rot, as these materials perish over time regardless of distance driven. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check of the chassis sills and mounting points is essential to ensure structural integrity has not been compromised by hidden rust, which is a common concern for Ford Fusions of this era.
