2008 Ford Fusion 1.4L Diesel · DE08 THZ

The 2008 Ford Fusion currently holds a valid roadworthiness pass dated 25 February 2026 at 119,764 miles, and the maintenance trend is stable with no recorded defects across the recent test cycle. The vehicle passed cleanly in the latest examination after a pair of administrative failures earlier in the month that carried no mechanical defects, indicating the chassis and running gear remain within DVSA limits for a car of this age. Annual mileage sits at a typical 6,654 miles per year against the 18-year lifespan, with the odometer reading 102,835 miles on 29 January 2024, 109,237 miles on 25 February 2025, and 119,764 miles on 25 February 2026. The recorded history shows no gaps exceeding twelve months and no rapid accumulation, though the sparse entries from 2024 to 2026 offer limited visibility of consumable replacement intervals. Two failures logged on 25 January 2024 and 25 February 2026 at near-identical mileages list no defects, which points to paperwork or presentation issues at the testing station rather than owner neglect of mechanical items. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the absence of advisory data in the record does not confirm absence of wear at 119,764 miles. The clean MOT slate means corrosion, exhaust emissions, and structural integrity were not flagged, but eighteen years of service on a light Ford platform warrants underside checks for rust and verification of binding calipers under road test. Given the Fusion passed with no defects in February 2026, immediate mechanical risk appears low, yet the sparse history offers no evidence of proactive upkeep beyond statutory testing. Prior owners met legal minimums; they left no trail of advisory clearance that would reassure on longer-term component life.
