2008 Ford Fusion 1.6L Petrol · CY08 AAU

The vehicle presents a stable level of roadworthiness with a consistent maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent test conducted on 21 May 2025 at 89,928 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. This follows a multi-year streak of clean passes since 2022, suggesting that the previous owner proactively addressed any minor issues following an initial failure. The mileage profile is notably low for an eighteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. Between May 2024 and May 2025, the car covered 3,754 miles, while the interval between June 2023 and May 2024 saw 5,434 miles. This low usage generally reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, though low mileage can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components, suspension bushes, and seals due to age and lack of regular movement. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis, specifically checking for corrosion in the sills and rear wheel arches which is common on this model. While the MOT record is clean, the failure in May 2022 at 74,501 miles indicates the vehicle has required mechanical intervention at least point. Inspect the brake discs and hoses for pitting or binding, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from seized calipers or perished brake lines if sat for extended periods.
