FORD FUSION2007 · 1.4L Petrol

The Ford Fusion presents as roadworthy following the most recent DVSA test on 12 March 2025 at 150,914 miles, where the tester recorded no defects and issued a pass. Maintenance trend appears stable; the vehicle cleared its 2022 and 2023 examinations without mechanical advisories, and the two failed attempts in late 2023 carried no logged defects, indicating no worsening mechanical condition. The clean 2025 result confirms the earlier October 2023 pass at 134,628 miles established a sound baseline. Mileage accumulation tracks typical use for a 2007 registration. The record shows 119,582 miles on 17 August 2022, rising to 134,505 miles by 18 August 2023, an annual rate near 15,000 miles in that interval, then a longer gap to 150,914 miles at the March 2025 test implying roughly 8,000 miles per year overall. Sparse testing history across nineteen years limits longitudinal insight, yet the absence of recorded advisories on each presented examination suggests the keeper addressed any consumable wear before each test. The two consecutive failures on 18 August 2023 and 15 September 2023 at 134,505 and 134,588 miles respectively, with no defects cited, point to administrative or presentation issues rather than deferred maintenance. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of age-related components not captured by a clean MOT. At 150,914 miles, suspension bushes and coil springs warrant close scrutiny for fatigue or fracture. Brake discs and calipers may exhibit uneven wear or binding after prolonged service, despite no tester advisories. The buyer should examine structural integrity around sills and subframes for corrosion, a common trait in older Ford chassis exposed to UK road salt. Given the vehicle's longevity, verify service history aligns with the recorded mileages. The lack of recurring mechanical faults in the official record is reassuring, but independent assessment of exhaust emissions and drivetrain condition remains prudent before purchase.
