2004 Ford Fusion 1.4L Diesel · FN04 KYY

The 2004 Ford Fusion presents as roadworthy following a pass at 61,991 miles on 8 April 2026, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent pass came on the same day as a failure at 61,989 miles on 8 April 2026 where the tester logged no defects, indicating the failure likely involved administrative or presentational grounds rather than mechanical fault. Prior tests at 59,010 miles on 4 December 2024 and 56,126 miles on 14 November 2023 also returned passes with no advisories, showing a clean record over the last three years. The odometer shows 61,991 miles against an estimated 22 years of service, equating to roughly 2,818 miles per year. This is low for the age. The gap between the November 2023 test at 56,126 miles and the November 2024 failure at 59,003 miles saw only about 2,877 miles added, and a further 2,981 miles to the April 2026 pass. Such limited annual use suggests the car spent long periods stationary, a pattern that often masks perished rubber components and corrosion where moisture settles. The record itself is sparse, with no advisories or defects ever noted, so no wear trends are visible in the data. A buyer should still inspect the vehicle in person for age-related degradation not captured by the MOT. Standing time raises the risk of cracked suspension bushes, seized brake calipers, and structural rust on sills and subframes despite the clean tests. Check the exhaust system for internal rot and confirm tyre sidewalls have not perished from inactivity. Given the twin April 2026 entries with no recorded defects, verify with the seller why the initial failure occurred. The low mileage and absent advisories imply careful storage rather than hard use, but a 22-year-old Ford demands a physical check of chassis integrity and fluid condition before purchase.
