2006 FORD FUSION1.4L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a recent passing MOT on 28 April 2025 at 131,040 miles. The record shows a pattern of immediate retests following failures, which suggests that any identified defects were rectified promptly to achieve compliance. The absence of advisories in the most recent three years of testing indicates that the vehicle has avoided significant structural corrosion or mechanical deterioration in the primary components monitored during the inspection process. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,552 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression from 127,662 miles in April 2023 to 131,040 miles in April 2025. This incremental increase suggests regular, predictable usage rather than long periods of stationary storage or sudden, heavy-duty operation. The lack of significant mileage jumps between annual tests indicates a consistent driving pattern. A physical inspection should focus on the components that typically wear after 130,000 miles, even if they have not yet triggered an MOT failure. You should examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue or perished rubber. Given the age of the vehicle, checking the underside for surface corrosion on the exhaust system and subframes is a prudent step. The buyer should also verify the condition of the braking system, specifically checking for uneven pad wear or leaking calipers. While the MOT history is clean, the transition from failure to pass in both 2024 and 2025 suggests the vehicle may have required minor consumable replacements, such as tyres or wiper blades, to meet the standard. Confirming that these maintenance tasks were performed with quality parts remains essential.
