Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to recent struc
Before purchasing, you must verify that the structural corrosion noted in the February 2024 MOT (offside rear integral body structure) has been professionally repaired and is not progressing. Ask for documentation or receipts specifically relating to that repair, as bodywork integrity is paramount for safety.
Additionally, investigate the recent brake and exhaust issues from February 2026. While these were resolved to pass the MOT, you should check if the brake discs were replaced or merely resurfaced, and ensure the exhaust back box leak was fully rectified. A full service history should be requested to see if the binding brakes were a symptom of a larger maintenance oversight.
As a 1.6L diesel, this Ford Fusion is designed for economy, typically offering good fuel mileage for long-distance driving. You should expect moderate fuel costs consistent with a small diesel engine.
Insurance groups for this model are generally mid-range, and tax bands will depend on the specific CO2 emissions of the 1560cc engine. Maintenance costs for Fords are typically manageable, though recent MOT failures for brakes and exhaust indicate that consumable items and exhaust components will be regular parts of your budget.
Prioritise a thorough inspection of the rear offside chassis and spring mount area. The 2024 MOT failure for 'integral body structure corroded' is a serious finding that requires visual confirmation of a high-quality repair.
Secondly, inspect the braking system. Given the 2026 failure involving pitted discs and binding calipers on both the nearside and offside fronts, check for even wear on the pads and ensure there is no excessive heat coming from the hubs after a short drive. Finally, listen for any unusual noises from the rear exhaust area to ensure the back box leak reported in February 2026 has been permanently addressed.
This 2009 Ford Fusion 1.6 TDCi presents with 65,371 miles, which is relatively low for its age. However, the MOT history shows two failures in the last three years, including a significant structural corrosion issue in 2024 and multiple brake and exhaust failures in 2026. The most recent test was a pass with no defects, but the pattern of advisories and failures suggests a need for close scrutiny.
No aggregate reliability data is available for this specific Ford Fusion model to provide a comparative baseline.
