2008 Ford Fusion 1.6L Petrol · CE08 AEW

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, as evidenced by the most recent MOT pass in April 2026 at 43,105 miles which returned no defects. This result follows a consistent period of clean passes since a single failure in early 2023. The car has now undergone three consecutive tests without any advisories or failures, suggesting that the mechanical and structural components have been maintained to an acceptable standard during the current period of ownership. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eighteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,400 miles per year. Data from February 2023 to April 2026 shows the car covered only 3,010 miles in three years, indicating very light use or frequent long-term periods of stationary. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between use can lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts. The fluid progression of mileage across the annual tests suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to high-stress driving recently. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by age and inactivity rather than high mileage. Inspect the brake lines for cracking or corrosion, check the suspension bushes for perished rubber, and examine the tyres for flat spotting or age-related sidewall cracking. Given the low usage, verify the structural integrity of the chassis and sills for surface rust, as older Ford Fusion models are prone to corrosion regardless of the distance driven. Ensure the engine fluids are not contaminated, as moisture buildup can occur in vehicles that long periods of standing.
