2009 Ford Fusion 1.4L Petrol · CK09 WVW

The maintenance trend for this 2009 Ford Fusion is entirely stable, culminating in a clean pass on 21 August 2025 at 36,617 miles. The tester recorded zero defects, advisories, or failures at that most recent inspection. This unblemished run of five consecutive passes indicates a vehicle that has remained mechanically sound and structurally intact over the last four years. The absence of any recurring faults suggests the previous owner addressed consumable wear items promptly and kept the car in a consistently roadworthy state. The mileage accumulation is remarkably low for a vehicle of this age, averaging roughly 2,154 miles annually. Between the 2021 test at 32,894 miles and the 2025 test at 36,617 miles, the car covered just 3,723 miles over four years. Annual increments fluctuate slightly—ranging from 790 miles between 2021 and 2022 to 1,231 miles between 2023 and 2024—but remain consistently minimal. Such low usage typically points to short, local journeys rather than long-distance motorway driving, which can prevent the engine and exhaust from reaching optimal operating temperatures. Despite the flawless MOT record, low-mileage vehicles that spend long periods stationary present unique risks that a standard test does not always capture. A buyer should inspect the condition of the tyres closely, as the rubber may have developed flat spots or perished sidewalls from prolonged standing rather than wear from use. Suspension bushes and coil springs require a thorough check for deterioration, as infrequent use can cause rubber components to dry out and crack. Brake discs and calipers also demand attention; sitting stationary can lead to surface corrosion on the discs and potential binding of the calipers. An in-person evaluation of the exhaust system for internal condensation corrosion and the undercarriage for structural rust remains essential, given the car's age and low annual mileage.
