2008 Ford Fusion 1.4L Petrol · FM57 BJO

The 2008 Ford Fusion presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 28 August 2025 at 50,792 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Across the four preceding annual tests from 2022 to 2024, the vehicle also passed cleanly with no advisories or noted wear on suspension bushes, brake discs, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity. The record shows no worsening faults and no recurring mechanical risks across the observed period. The mileage pattern reflects light use for an eighteen-year-old vehicle, accumulating only 50,792 miles or roughly 2,822 miles per year. The tester logged 39,255 miles on 7 September 2022, rising to 43,532 by 24 August 2023, 47,353 by 20 August 2024, and 50,792 by August 2025. Annual increments stay near 3,000 to 4,400 miles with no abrupt jumps or dormant gaps, suggesting consistent low-intensity private use rather than neglect or commercial strain. On 7 September 2022 the vehicle failed and passed on the same day at identical mileage of 39,255, with the DVSA entry showing no defects recorded for either outcome. This anomaly implies an administrative re-test rather than a genuine mechanical fault, and the clean slate since supports sound basic upkeep by prior owners. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of corrosion on sills and subframes, check suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing from prolonged standing, and verify brake calipers are free from binding after low-mileage storage. The MOT history alone shows no flagged items, but low-use Ford Fusions of this era commonly develop underbody rust and stale fluid that paper records will not capture.
