2009 Ford Fusion 1.4L Petrol · FJ09 YSV

The 2009 Ford Fusion presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed the most recent MOT test on 12 October 2024 at 81,606 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, with every pass showing a clean sheet and no advisories logged at any stage. The vehicle's test outcomes reflect a consistent pattern of eventual compliance, though two failed tests in consecutive years raise a minor administrative flag rather than a mechanical one. Recorded mileage sits at 81,606 against a 17-year lifespan, equating to roughly 4,800 miles per year and marking this car as low-use for its age. The odometer advanced from 70,690 miles at the September 2022 test to 76,810 by the September 2023 failure, then to 81,604 by the October 2024 failure, a steady annual accumulation near 5,000 miles with no abrupt jumps. Both failures on 22 September 2023 and 11 October 2024 list no defects, implying the tester halted the examination before completion or the owner withdrew and returned next day for the pass, not a sign of deferred consumable wear. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and the risk of corrosion on a Ford of this era even where MOT records show clean. Low annual mileage often means long stationary periods that accelerate underbody rust and flat-spot tyres, so structural integrity around sills and subframes warrants close checking. The absence of advisories across five tests suggests previous owners kept basic upkeep current, but the twin no-defect failures hint at test-centre friction rather than neglected servicing.
