Our Verdict
This blue 2007 Ford Fusion 1.4 TDCi is a usable budget diesel with a broadly clean recent MOT record, but the 2023 failure for tyre and suspension issues means it needs a careful inspection. Buy only if the seller can show those worn items were properly replaced and the car is priced accordingly.
Ask for proof that the front inner tyres and the off-side front suspension arm ball joint dust cover flagged in the July 2023 failure were replaced before the August 2023 pass. The 2022 note of a slight injector leak should be checked against any service history or recent repair invoices, as diesel injector issues can be costly if ignored. Given the car's age, prioritise a full service history and confirm the front registration plate has since been renewed to avoid an advisory on your next test.
As a 1.4-litre diesel registered in December 2007, this Fusion should return strong fuel economy for a small car, though exact figures depend on condition and driving style. Road tax for an older small diesel is typically low, and insurance groups for the Fusion are modest, keeping annual fixed costs down. Based on the mileage and age, budget for routine maintenance plus potential diesel system attention; estimated annual running cost is around £900-£1,100 including fuel, tax, insurance, and servicing.
Check the front suspension arms and ball joint dust covers closely, as the off-side front item failed in 2023 for no longer keeping dirt out — confirm it was replaced and not just wiped. Inspect both front inner tyres for edge wear, matching the 2023 failure pattern, and verify the near-side front position lamp is now at full brightness after the dim advisory. Look for any evidence of injector leakage around the engine bay following the 2022 slight leak note, and check the condition of the front number plate.
The vehicle shows 125,822 miles on its 2025 MOT, which is reasonable for an 18-year-old small diesel estate. MOT history is mostly clear aside from a 2023 failure for near-side and off-side front inner tyres worn on the edge, a dim near-side front lamp, and an off-side front suspension arm ball joint dust cover no longer preventing dirt ingress. The 2022 test also noted a deteriorated front plate and a slight injector leak, suggesting some age-related wear worth monitoring.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Ford Fusion, so condition must be judged solely on this vehicle's history.
