2009 Ford Fusion 1.6L Petrol · CE59 VTP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its recent inspection history. The most recent test on 18 July 2025 at 82,799 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. While a failure was noted in July 2024, the immediate re-pass on the same day suggests the owner was proactive in rectifying identified faults rather than allowing minor mechanical issues to persist. The mileage pattern is notably low for a seventeen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,871 miles per year. Between July 2022 and July 2025, the car covered only 8,790 miles, moving from 74,009 to 82,799 miles. This low usage suggests light travel, which typically preserves the engine and drivetrain components. However, such low mileage over long periods often leads to degradation of rubber-based parts and fluid seals due to age and inactivity rather than mechanical wear. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and suspension components. Given the vehicle's age and low mileage, corrosion on the sills and suspension mounting points is a higher risk than wear-and-tear from high mileage. Check for cracked suspension bushes and perished rubber boots, as these degrade over time when a car sits stationary. The brakes should also be examined for binding calipers or pitted discs, as low-use vehicles frequently develop surface rust that can seize the braking mechanism.
