2009 Ford Fusion 1.6L Diesel · AV59 VOO

The most recent MOT test occurred on 2022-12-12 at 132,933 miles, meaning the vehicle currently lacks a valid certificate as of June 2026. The maintenance trend based on the record appears stable, with the vehicle consistently passing its safety checks without any recorded defects up to that date. However, the absence of any testing for over three and a half years leaves the present mechanical condition entirely unverified. The anomalous entry on 2022-12-12, showing a fail with no defects recorded, suggests a procedural error or a tester anomaly rather than a mechanical failure. The mileage pattern reflects typical, steady use for a 2009 vehicle. Between the December 2019 test at 110,691 miles and the December 2021 test at 123,817 miles, the vehicle accumulated 13,126 miles over two years. The following year, from December 2021 to December 2022, it added a further 9,116 miles, bringing the total to 132,933. This averages roughly 7,820 miles per year, indicating consistent annual use rather than prolonged periods of standing or excessively high motorway mileage. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must conduct a rigorous physical inspection of the structural and mechanical components. A 17-year-old vehicle with this mileage requires close scrutiny of the sills, floor pans, and suspension mounting points for corrosion, which can compromise structural integrity. The tester flagged no braking or suspension issues historically, yet wear is inevitable; inspect the brake discs for scoring, calipers for binding, and suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration. The exhaust system and emissions compliance should be verified, as components degrade over time regardless of use. Tyres and wiper blades demand particular attention, as prolonged standing can cause flat spots and perishing even if tread depth appears adequate. The clean MOT record offers historical reassurance, but the expired certificate means a pre-purchase inspection is essential to confirm the vehicle's current roadworthiness.
