2011 Ford Fusion 1.6L Petrol · WG11 DYB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive care regarding aging components. The most recent test in March 2026 at 90,701 miles passed despite advisories for a corroded offside rear brake pipe and perishing tyres. While the car continues to pass, the presence of recurring corrosion and rubber-related failures suggests that components are only addressed once they approach a point of mechanical failure or legal threshold. At 90,701 miles over 15 years, the Fusion has averaged approximately 6,000 miles per year, which is consistent with low-to-mid range usage patterns. The mileage data shows steady progression, with roughly 4,200 miles covered between January 2024 and January 2025, and another 7,000 miles between January 2025 and March 2026. This lower mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber components, such as the cracking seen in tyres and wipers noted across multiple test records. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system and underbody structure. The record flags a seriously corroded rear rear drum backing plate in early 2025 and a corroded brake pipe in 2026, indicating that oxidation is an active issue on the hydraulic lines. Furthermore, the repeated mentions of thin front brake pads and worn discs back in 2023 and 2024 suggest the front braking hardware is nearing the end of its service life. Physical inspection of the suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls is essential, as the history shows a consistent failure to replace perished rubber before it is flagged by a tester.
