2003 Ford Fusion 1.4L Diesel · FG53 KWH

This vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 30 January 2026 at 120,425 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes over the last four years, suggesting the car is being maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements. The mileage is low for a 23 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,236 miles per year. The distance covered between the November 2022 test at 106,950 miles and the January 2026 test at 120,425 miles shows a steady usage pattern of approximately 8,000 miles per annum over the last three and a half years. There are no erratic jumps in mileage that would suggest clocking or prolonged periods of stagnation. The MOT history is unusually clean for a vehicle of this age, with no recorded failures for mechanical wear or structural corrosion since 2022. The failure on 24 January 2025 was resolved within four days, though the record does not specify the fault. Because the DVSA data shows no advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions, the record does not highlight any specific recurring weaknesses. A buyer should still physically inspect the chassis and sills for corrosion, as MOT testers sometimes overlook surface rust that has not yet compromised structural integrity. Given the low annual mileage, check for perished rubber components and ensure the braking system has not seized due to underuse. Verify the service history for oil and filter changes to ensure the engine has been maintained regardless of the low mileage.
