2004 Ford Fusion 1.4L Petrol · NG54 BFU

The 2004 Ford Fusion presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 23 September 2025 at 62,384 miles, and the maintenance trend across the supplied record is stable with no advisories or defects logged at any stage. The vehicle cleared its most recent test four days after a failed attempt on 20 September 2025 at 62,379 miles where the tester recorded no defects, indicating the failure stemmed from an administrative or non-mechanical cause such as a documentation issue rather than a fault with the car itself. Annual mileage sits at roughly 2,836 miles per year against 22 years of age, with the odometer climbing from 50,307 miles on 19 September 2023 to 56,712 miles by 16 September 2024 and 62,384 miles by September 2025. The record shows consistent low yearly use and no abrupt accumulation, though the sparse history of just five entries leaves long dormant periods unaccounted for. Low standing time across winter months often masks corrosion and perished rubber components that a short test lane inspection will not always reveal. A buyer should physically inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe mounting points for age-related corrosion given the vehicle's 2004 build date and likely extended storage. The brake discs and calipers warrant a strip check despite no binding or imbalance being flagged, since light use promotes surface rust and sticking. The twin failures in September 2023 and September 2025 with zero recorded defects suggest the previous owner addressed paperwork promptly but the record gives no evidence of deferred consumable neglect or recurring mechanical faults. Confirm exhaust emissions and structural integrity on a ramp before purchase, as the MOT data alone cannot certify hidden rot or intermittent drivetrain wear on a low-mileage older vehicle.
