2007 Ford Fusion 1.4L Petrol · DY07 SZK

The 2007 Ford Fusion presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass on 14 October 2025 at 39,041 miles. No defects were recorded at this most recent test, indicating the vehicle currently meets all required safety and emissions standards. The absence of any advisories or failures across the last two years suggests the previous owner addressed any latent issues promptly, maintaining the car to a high mechanical standard. The recorded mileage of 39,041 miles is remarkably low for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging just 2,055 miles annually. The MOT history confirms this light usage, showing a mere 94 miles covered between the 3 May 2023 and 28 November 2023 tests. A slight uptick in usage appears in the subsequent years, with 1,737 miles recorded between late 2023 and late 2024, and 2,617 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests. Despite this low mileage, the vehicle was tested twice in late 2024, failing on 31 October without any recorded defects before passing a day later. This anomaly likely points to an aborted test or a procedural failure rather than a mechanical fault, given the clean pass immediately following. Given the absence of recurring mechanical faults, a buyer should focus on age-related deterioration rather than wear from high mileage. The extended periods of standing typical of such low usage can cause rubber suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls to perish or crack, even with ample tread depth. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion from sitting stationary and check the exhaust system for moisture-induced rust. While the structural integrity appears sound based on the clean MOT record, a thorough underbody inspection remains prudent to confirm no hidden corrosion has taken hold during its dormant phases.
