Known faults for Ford Ford Fusion (Europe)
Our database tracks 3 specific mechanical faults and recurring failure patterns identified across UK MOT testing stations for this generation.
MOT Roadworthiness: Poor
This rating reflects historical MOT pass rates and recurring advisory wear patterns from official DVSA test logs. Note that roadworthiness does not verify outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen records.
Verify lender finance agreements, insurance write-offs, police stolen registers, and mileage rollback.
Common Problems: FORD FUSION
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Pollen Filter Housing Bulkhead Water Ingress(Moderate)
The cabin pollen filter on the Ford Fusion is located within the heater bulkhead beneath the windscreen scuttle panel. Over time, the factory foam weather-seal on the pollen filter housing cover deteriorates, dries out, and degrades from exposure to heat and moisture. Rainwater running off the windscreen bypasses the degraded seal and flows directly into the passenger footwell, soaking sound-deadening insulation and risking corrosion to the interior wiring harness and fusebox.
- 1.4 TDCi Common-Rail Fuel Injector Copper Washer Leak(Moderate)
On 1.4-litre Duratorq TDCi diesel engines, the copper crush washers sealing the base of the fuel injectors against the cylinder head fire face can harden, erode, and fail. High-pressure combustion gases blow past the failed copper seal, venting hot diesel soot, hydrocarbons, and unburnt fuel into the injector wells. Over time, this baked soot solidifies into a hard, tar-like black carbon crust known as black death, damaging the injector body, creating exhaust fumes in the cabin, and making injector removal difficult.
- Durashift EST Automated Manual Transmission Actuator Fault(Serious)
The optional Durashift Electronic Shift Transmission (EST) utilizes an automated mechanical clutch and electro-mechanical gear selector actuators mounted to a standard manual gearbox. Over time, internal electric actuator motors suffer brush wear, moisture ingress, or solder joint failure on the integrated control module. When the transmission control unit loses position calibration or cannot actuate the clutch, the system enters fail-safe mode, flashing a transmission warning on the instrument cluster and preventing engine cranking.
