2004 Ford Fusion 1.6L Petrol · CF53 WFV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having achieved a clean pass in its latest test in June 2025 at 75,084 miles. While the history shows two instances of failure, specifically in June 2023 and June 2024, the subsequent passes indicate that identified faults were rectified. The lack of advisories on the two most recent tests suggests that the current owner is proactive in addressing mechanical defects and ensuring the vehicle meets the minimum safety standards. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,413 miles per year. Between June 2023 and June 2025, the car covered only 1,255 miles, suggesting very infrequent use or long periods of stationary storage. While this low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain components, such low usage patterns can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and surface corrosion on brake hardware which are not always captured by the odometer reading. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and sills, as older vehicles with low mileage are prone to hidden rust-related issues regardless of distance. Given the intermittent nature of the previous failures, a close check of the suspension bushes and coil springs is necessary to ensure they are not cracking due to age rather than use. Additionally, verify the brake calipers for seizing and check for any signs of de-corrosion on the underbody to ensure that the lack of advisories in the recent records reflects a well-maintained state rather than a missed inspection.
