2009 Ford Fusion 1.6L Petrol · MK59 FSL

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 20 May 2026 at 89,112 miles with no recorded defects. This represents an improving maintenance trend following a period of neglect in early 2024. While the 2024 failure revealed multiple pressing issues, the subsequent clean passes over the last year suggest the current owner has addressed the identified faults and maintained the vehicle. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 89,112 miles is notably low, averaging approximately 5,242 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage in recent years, with 2,336 miles driven between May 2025 and May 2026, and another 2,294 miles between September 2024 and May 2025. This low annual mileage often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components rather than mechanical wear from distance, which aligns with the issues's history. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension geometry, as the ball joint dust covers failed both sides in February 2024 at 81,505 miles and remained flagged as severely deteriorated in September 2024 at 84,482 miles. Although the vehicle has passed since, the buyer must check for signs of grease leakage or perished rubber in these joints. The history of perishing and cracking tyres in 2023 and 2024 indicates the car may have sat for long periods, necessitating a thorough check of sidewall cracking, brake hoses, and structural corrosion that does not always trigger a standard MOT failure.
