2008 Ford Fusion 1.4L Diesel · BD08 ABU

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test on July 8, 2025, at 38,311 miles showed no defects, maintaining a streak of perfect results that dates back to at least 2021. This maintenance trend is exceptionally stable, suggesting the vehicle has been well-kept and free from recurring mechanical or structural failures. The mileage profile is remarkably low for an eighteen-year-old Ford, averaging approximately 2,128 miles per year. Between July 2024 and July 2025, the car covered only 1,619 miles, while the interval between 2022 and 2023 saw 4,691 miles. This low frequency of use typically indicates less wear on drivetrain components and engine internals. However, such low annual mileage can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber components and fluids that MOT tests may not capture. Despite the clean digital record, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to perish or corrosion due to time rather than high-mileage-related wear. Inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake lines for signs of cracking or dry rot which often occur when vehicles sit for long periods. Check the chassis for structural rust in the sills and wheel arches, as moisture often affects older vehicles regardless of how few miles driven. Additionally, verify the age of the tyres and battery, as tread depth may remain sufficient while the rubber compound hardens over time.
