2012 Ford Fusion 1.4L Petrol · AY12 WUR

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition with a remarkably stable maintenance history over the last five years. The most recent test on 2 June 2026 at 17,473 miles resulted in a pass, noting only a minor discoloration of the nearside rear indicator. This represents a purely cosmetic defect that does not impact mechanical integrity, indicating that the vehicle has maintained a clean record without failures since 2022. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a fourteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,248 miles per year. Data shows a consistent usage pattern, such as the jump from 11,518 miles in June 2022 to 13,269 miles in May 2024, followed by a more recent increase of 4,204 miles between 2024 and 2026. While low mileage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it also raises the risk of degradation in rubber parts and fluids due to long periods of inactivity rather than mechanical stress. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by age and stagnation rather than high-mile wear. Check the brake system for seized calipers or corroded discs, as low-use vehicles often suffer from surface rust pitting. Inspect the suspension bushes and tyres for cracking or dry rot, which frequently occurs when cars sit stationary. Given the clean MOT history, the structural integrity appears sound, but verifying the chassis for hidden corrosion remains necessary despite the low mileage figures.
