2009 Ford Fusion 1.4L Diesel · CA59 DWM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by five consecutive clean MOT records over the last five years. The most recent test conducted in November 2025 at 181,823 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This consistent streak of passing results suggests that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a standard that avoids the common mechanical and structural failures typically seen in cars of this age and mileage. The mileage accumulation is consistent and typical for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,700 miles per annum. Between November 2021 and November 2025, the car covered 37,958 miles, showing a steady usage pattern of roughly 9,500 to 10,000 miles each year. This regularity indicates the vehicle has not suffered long periods of standing, which is beneficial for the integrity of seals, hoses, and brake components, despite the high total distance recorded on the odometer. Despite the lack of recorded MOT faults, the high mileage necessitates a thorough physical inspection of components subject to significant wear and tear. A buyer should scrutinise the suspension system for perished bushes and check the coil springs for fractures, as these are common failure points on Fusions with over 150,000 miles. The brake discs should be examined for excessive thinning or uneven wear, as the MOT only tests for efficiency and the presence of immediate safety limits. Given the vehicle's age, a close look at the chassis for corrosion, particularly around the sills and wheel arches, remains essential to ensure no hidden structural degradation has occurred beyond what a standard test would detect.
