Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and budget for upco
When viewing this Ford Fusion, your primary focus should be on the underside of the vehicle. The MOT history shows repeated advisories for corroded brake pipes (both nearside and offside) and corroded coil springs across multiple years. You should ask for evidence of any recent work carried out to address these specific corrosion issues to ensure they have been properly rectified rather than just temporarily managed.
Additionally, investigate the 'oil leak, but not excessive' advisory noted in October 2025. Ask the seller for service records that might indicate if this leak is related to a known gasket issue or a seal. Given the age of the vehicle, check that the service history is documented and that the recent tyre issues noted in 2021 and 2025 have been fully resolved with new rubber.
The 1388cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a lower insurance group and tax band, making it relatively economical for urban driving. Fuel economy for this model is typically modest, suitable for a small family hatchback.
Maintenance costs should be factored in higher than average due to the recurring nature of the MOT advisories. You should expect to budget for periodic replacement of brake components, suspension springs, and tyres. An estimated annual running cost, covering fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, is approximately £1,100-£1,400.
Specifically inspect the braking system and the condition of the brake pipes. The MOT history shows multiple instances of corroded pipes being covered in grease, which can sometimes mask the extent of the corrosion. Ensure the pipes are structurally sound and not just superficially cleaned.
Check the suspension components, particularly the coil springs, as corrosion has been a recurring theme in the 2023 and 2025 tests. You should also perform a visual inspection of the engine bay for signs of the oil leak mentioned in the most recent MOT to determine its severity and location.
This 2010 silver Ford Fusion 1.4 petrol has covered 78,242 miles since its first registration in December 2010. The MOT history reveals a pattern of corrosion on brake pipes and coil springs, alongside a recent oil leak advisory. While it has passed its tests consistently, the frequency of advisories regarding components like tyres and brake pipes indicates a vehicle that requires regular attention to stay roadworthy.
No aggregate reliability data is currently available for the Ford Fusion to provide a comparative benchmark.
