2004 Ford Fusion 1.4L Petrol · AF04 UWW

The 2004 Ford Fusion presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 26 February 2025 at 148,094 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken four-year sequence of clean results. Annual mileage sits close to typical expectations for a 22-year-old vehicle. The records show 137,482 miles in February 2022, 138,971 in February 2023, 142,101 in February 2024, and 148,094 in February 2025. That equates to roughly 1,000 to 4,600 miles per year across the period, with no gaps or sudden accumulation. The DVSA data is sparse but consistently clean, showing no advisories or failures at any stage. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clear test history. The absence of recorded advisories means worn suspension bushes, corroding subframes, or fatigued coil springs were not flagged, yet a 22-year-old Ford may conceal structural rust beneath sills and arches that a visual MOT check can miss. Brake discs, calipers, and exhaust emissions should be verified for operational condition. Previous owners appear to have kept basic upkeep current, given four consecutive passes with no defects. Low annual use suggests light duty, but standing periods can accelerate perishable component degradation. Confirm cambelt history and check for damp, fluid leaks, and tyre sidewall cracking before purchase.
