2006 Ford Fusion 1.6L Petrol · DA56 LSU

The 2006 Ford Fusion presents as roadworthy following a pass at 49,561 miles on 27 February 2026, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The prior day's failure at the same mileage with no defects logged points to an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault, and every test from 2022 through 2026 returned a clean pass with no advisories raised. The odometer shows 49,561 miles against twenty years of age, an average of roughly 2,478 miles per year. The records chart a gentle climb: 45,580 miles on 8 July 2022, 45,945 on 8 June 2023, 48,048 on 24 July 2024, then 49,561 by February 2026. Such low, slowly accruing mileage implies long idle periods, yet the clean test sheet across four years suggests the previous keeper kept basic statutory testing current without deferred exams. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion, since standing vehicles rot structurally even when test mileage stays low. The brake discs and calipers warrant a strip check for binding or seizure after prolonged disuse, and the exhaust should be examined for internal degradation not visible at an MOT bay. No recurring faults or advisories appear in the DVSA data, so the record itself reveals no worsening pattern. Treat the clean history as a baseline, not a guarantee, and verify underseal condition and tyre sidewall age before relying on the car for regular use.
