2010 Ford Fusion 1.6L Petrol · CK60 UEJ

The 2010 Ford Fusion presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 27 November 2025 at 39,659 miles. This most recent test recorded zero defects, indicating the vehicle currently meets all required roadworthiness standards. The preceding annual tests in 2024, 2023, and 2022 also passed without any advisories or failures, barring a minor anomaly on 6 December 2022 where a failed test and a passed test were logged at the identical mileage of 36,548 miles. This likely represents a same-day retest or an aborted initial inspection, but crucially, no defects were recorded against the vehicle on either occasion. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally low for a vehicle of this age, averaging roughly 2,479 miles per year. Between the December 2022 test at 36,548 miles and the November 2025 test at 39,659 miles, the car covered just 3,111 miles over a three-year period. Such minimal usage suggests prolonged periods of standing, which introduces its own mechanical risks despite the low wear on consumables. The annual intervals between tests remain consistent, showing the owner maintained the legal requirement despite the limited mileage. Given the absence of recurring mechanical faults in the official record, the primary concerns shift to the effects of age and prolonged inactivity rather than chronic component failure. A buyer should inspect the condition of the tyre sidewalls and tread for flat-spotting or perishing, as rubber degrades with time regardless of mileage. Suspension bushes and coil springs must be checked for deterioration, and the brake discs should be examined for surface corrosion that can develop when a vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. The exhaust system and underbody require a thorough inspection for structural rust, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from moisture accumulation in the exhaust and underbody corrosion due to short, cold runs that fail to evaporate condensation. While the MOT history is impeccably clean, the physical inspection must verify that the lack of use has not caused the deterioration of perishable rubber and metal components.
