2005 Ford Fusion 1.6L Petrol · CE05 OCV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy based on the latest MOT, though the most recent test on 21 January 2026 at 100,784 miles recorded a failure with no defects noted, indicating the mechanical condition remains stable with no immediate faults detected. The recorded mileage of 100,784 miles over 21 years averages 4,799 miles per year, suggesting relatively low usage; however, the interval between the 5 December 2023 test at 85,825 miles and the January 2026 test shows an acceleration to 12,866 miles in just over three months, a notable jump compared with the earlier stable increments of roughly 2,000 miles per year. A buyer should focus on the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, inspect the brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear, examine the chassis and structural members for rust or corrosion, and verify the integrity of the exhaust system and mounting points. The lack of recorded defects despite multiple failures suggests that any issues are intermittent or non‑mechanical, so a thorough in‑person inspection of the identified components is essential before purchase.
