2003 Ford Fusion 1.6L Petrol · FG53 JYL

The vehicle's roadworthiness status is currently unverified as the most recent MOT record dates back to June 2022. The maintenance trend appears stable based on the available data, with the car passing its last test on 16 June 2022 at 105,738 miles. A failure occurred just one day prior on 15 June 2022 at 105,736 miles, though the record lists no specific defects for either the failure or the subsequent pass. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 23-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,597 miles per year. Between 26 June 2021 and 16 June 2022, the car covered only 3,838 miles. This low usage suggests the vehicle may have spent significant periods stationary, which often introduces different mechanical risks than high-mileage wear. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system and rubber components. Long periods of inactivity frequently lead to binding calipers, seized brake discs, and perished suspension bushes or tyre sidewalls. Given the age of this Ford Fusion, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the sills and chassis is essential, as the clean MOT history from several years ago does not account for rust development during recent storage. The lack of recorded advisories across the 2021 and 2022 tests is positive, but the four-year gap since the last valid certificate is a primary concern. The vehicle requires a fresh MOT to identify any deterioration in exhaust emissions or steering components that may have occurred since the 105,738-mile reading.
