2009 Ford Fusion 1.4L Diesel · EA59 PHJ

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a consistently stable maintenance record over several years. The most recent test conducted on 30 September 2025 at 47,160 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a string of clean results dating back to 2021, indicating that the vehicle has maintained its mechanical and structural integrity without recurring failures or deteriorating trends. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,774 miles per year. Between October 2021 at 37,550 miles and September 2025 at 47,160 miles, the car covered only 9,610 miles, suggesting very infrequent or intermittent use. While this low mileage reduces wear on drivetrain components like the engine and brake pads, long intervals between use can lead to age-related degradation of rubber components and fluid breakdown that mileage cannot capture. Despite the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer must focus the physical inspection on components susceptible to time rather than mileage-related wear. Priority should checking for perished suspension bushes, split drive belts, and degraded hoses, which often fail on vehicles driven infrequently. The buyer should also inspect the chassis for surface corrosion on the sills and floor pans, as structural rust can occur regardless of how few miles the car has travelled. Checking the tyres for sidewall cracking is also essential, as rubber hardens over seventeen years even with significant tread remaining.
