2008 Ford Fusion 1.6L Petrol · FP08 HNT

This vehicle presents a highly stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent record of first-time passes. The most recent test on 19 February 2026 at 57,044 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This mirrors the outcomes of the previous four annual inspections, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that consistently meets DVSA requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is exceptionally low for an 18-year-old car, averaging roughly 3,169 miles per year. The accumulation has remained steady and predictable over the last five years, growing from 53,183 miles in February 2022 to 57,044 miles by February 2026. This linear progression suggests regular, light usage rather than long periods of stagnation, which typically reduces the risk of seized components or perished seals. Despite the clean MOT history, the low mileage and age of the vehicle necessitate a specific physical inspection. Long-term light use often leads to the degradation of rubber components regardless of mileage. A buyer should check the condition of the suspension bushes, engine mounts, and tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking. The absence of any advisories regarding corrosion is positive, but a manual check of the chassis and sills is advised to ensure no surface rust has developed. Because the brakes have not been flagged for wear or binding in the records, the inspector should verify the brake fluid condition and check for any pitting on the brake discs caused by infrequent heavy braking.
