2010 FORD FUSION1.6L Diesel

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 18 July 2025 at 83,746 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent five-year trend of passes without a single recorded advisory or failure, suggesting a high standard of preventative maintenance and a vehicle that has been kept in a roadworthy state. The mileage is notably low for a 2010 model, averaging roughly 5,234 miles per year. The accumulation has remained steady over the last five years, moving from 51,375 miles in July 2021 to 83,746 miles in July 2025. There are no erratic jumps in mileage that would suggest periods of heavy commercial use or sudden changes in ownership patterns. While the MOT record is remarkably clean, the low annual mileage and age of the vehicle introduce specific risks. Low-use cars often suffer from perished rubber components, such as suspension bushes and engine mounts, which degrade over time regardless of distance traveled. A buyer should check for signs of perished tyres or leaking shock absorbers that may not have triggered a failure but are due for replacement based on age. The absence of any recorded corrosion or brake issues in the DVSA data is positive, but a physical inspection of the underbody is still necessary. Older Fords can develop structural rust in the sills and chassis rails that may be overlooked if the car has been kept in a dry environment. Checking for binding calipers and ensuring the brake fluid has been changed according to the manufacturer's schedule is advised, as low-mileage vehicles often skip fluid flushes.
