2009 Ford Fusion 1.4L Diesel · GX09 CME

The MOT record presents a stable, clean roadworthiness status with no defects flagged across all tests. The most recent test on 20 January 2023 at 98,728 miles passed with zero advisories or failures, indicating the vehicle met DVSA standards at that point. The trend is flat and unremarkable in the best sense, with no recurring mechanical or structural issues documented over the past five years of recorded entries. The mileage pattern reveals a notable anomaly. The vehicle recorded exactly 98,728 miles on both 20 January 2023 tests, showing no mileage change between the failed and passed attempts on the same day. Between 2022 and 2023, the vehicle accumulated 4,923 miles over 357 days, a modest increase consistent with the low annual average of roughly 5,808 miles across its 17-year lifespan. The gap between the January 2023 test and today's date of 18 June 2026 is over three years, meaning the current MOT has expired and no verified mileage or condition data exists for the intervening period. Despite the clean MOT history, the absence of a valid certificate since January 2023 raises questions about how the vehicle has been stored or used in the intervening three and a half years. A buyer should inspect the tyres for flat-spotting and perished rubber, check brake discs and calipers for surface corrosion from prolonged standing, and examine suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration. The exhaust system and fuel lines deserve close attention given the age of the vehicle, as corrosion can develop without regular use. A fresh MOT or pre-purchase inspection is strongly advised before committing to the purchase.
