2006 Ford Fusion 1.6L Diesel · CP06 OXH

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the most recent test indicates a lapse in compliance. The MOT on 3 July 2025 at 117,690 miles resulted in a failure with no recorded defects, which suggests an administrative failure or a specific presentation issue rather than a mechanical breakdown. Prior to this, the car passed its 2023 and 2024 tests without any advisories, indicating that the vehicle maintained high operational standards during those periods. The mileage pattern is notably low for a twenty-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,884 miles per year. There is a significant data anomaly in the record from 20 June 2023, where a failure was logged at 180,518 miles, contradicting the 112,168 miles recorded on the pass that day. This discrepancy suggests a clerical entry error or a component replacement that requires verification. Aside from this outlier, the mileage accumulation is consistent and light, with roughly 2,400 miles covered between the June 2024 test and the July 2025 test. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the structural integrity and suspension components, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from degradation of rubber bushes and seized brake calipers due to inactivity. Given the age of the Ford Fusion, checking for corrosion on the sills and rear mounting points is critical. Since the recent history showed a clean pass without recorded defects, the buyer must verify the specific reason for the 2025 failure to ensure no underlying mechanical issues were overlooked during the re-test..
