2004 Ford Fusion 1.4L Petrol · EG04 WNX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by consecutive clean passes over the last three years. The most recent test conducted on 14 May 2022 at 69,814 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle maintained its mechanical integrity up to that point. While a single failure occurred in May 2020, the immediate pass following it suggests that any identified faults were rectified promptly by the previous owner. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,173 miles per year. Between April 2019 and May 2022, the car covered only 10,776 miles, suggesting a history of infrequent use or long periods of stationary. This low usage often reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine internal components, though it increases the risk of rubber-based parts degrading or fluid contamination. Since the last recorded MOT was over four years ago, the vehicle is currently significantly overdue for its annual test certification, which renders the current state of roadworthiness unknown without a fresh inspection. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of structural integrity and suspension components, as low-mileage vehicles often mask age-related corrosion. Check the underbody for rust on the sills and wheel arches, which can develop regardless of distance driven. Given the long gap between tests, inspect the brake calipers for seizing or perished seals and check the tyres for flat spotting or sidew cracking. The buyer must also verify the specific cause of the 2020 failure to ensure a recurring mechanical issue has not returned during the subsequent period of low use.
