2006 Ford Fusion 1.4L Petrol · NH55 BWU

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean MOT pass on 11 February 2026 at 82,714 miles. The maintenance trend appears remarkably stable, evidenced by four consecutive clean passes over the previous three years. While a technical failure was recorded on 10 February 2026 just one mile prior to the pass, the lack of recorded defects on that entry suggests either an administrative error or a minor sensor-related issue that was rectified immediately without indicating a deeper mechanical failure. The mileage profile is notably low for a twenty-year-old Ford, averaging approximately 4,136 miles per year. Between March 2023 and February 2026, the car covered 11,976 miles, maintaining a consistent and modest usage pattern of roughly 4,000 miles annually. This low rate of travel typically reduces the wear on the drivetrain, engine, and gearbox components compared to high-mileage examples. However, such low-mileage vehicles of this age can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and seals due to lack of use rather than mechanical friction. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on signs of age-related corrosion rather than high-mileage wear. Given the age of the Fusion, the structural integrity of the sills, wheel arches, and underbody requires close scrutiny, as moisture often accumulates over two decades. Specifically inspect the suspension bushes and tyres for cracking or perishation, which frequently occurs on vehicles that sit for extended periods. While the MOT history shows no advisories, the brake discs should be checked for pitting or rust, as low-frequency use can prevent the surface from staying clean.
