2011 Ford Fusion 1.6L Petrol · CK11 XOY

The 2011 Ford Fusion presents a stable mechanical trajectory, culminating in a clean pass on 7 January 2026 at 40,324 miles with zero defects. The maintenance trend is currently improving, as the most recent test resolved the braking and lighting issues that caused a failure exactly one year prior. A single defect recorded in January 2025 does not indicate a worsening pattern, but rather a resolved historical issue. The vehicle currently meets all required roadworthiness standards. The recorded mileage of 40,324 miles across a 15-year lifespan equates to roughly 2,688 miles annually, confirming exceptionally light usage. The MOT records show a steady, gradual accumulation of miles, with the vehicle covering 476 miles between January 2025 and January 2026, and 474 miles between January 2024 and January 2025. Prior to this, the car traveled 638 miles between January 2023 and January 2024. This consistent, low-mileage pattern suggests the vehicle spent extended periods stationary, which can lead to deterioration of rubber components and brake surfaces from standing rather than driving. Despite the clean 2026 result, a physical inspection must focus on the offside rear brake pipe. The tester flagged corrosion covered in grease during the January 2025 test, a condition that demands scrutiny to ensure the degradation is superficial rather than structural. Buyers should thoroughly examine the underside for widespread corrosion, particularly along the chassis rails and suspension mounting points, as prolonged sitting often accelerates rust in these areas. The January 2023 test flagged a nearside front tyre worn to the legal limit and perishing, meaning the current tyres are likely replacements. Verify the condition of all four tyres and suspension bushes, as infrequent use can cause flat spots and perishing that MOTs only catch at the extreme limit.
