2008 Ford Fusion 1.4L Diesel · NX08 TUP

The 2008 Ford Fusion presents a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent test on 4 November 2022 at 108,171 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Across the available five-year record the vehicle cleared every valid examination, showing no recurring advisories or mechanical faults. The maintenance history reads as clean and consistent for a car of this age. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for an eighteen-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,010 miles per year against the 108,171 miles recorded. The DVSA log shows steady accumulation: 94,531 miles in November 2019, 98,669 at the November 2020 pass, and 102,258 by November 2021. A failed test on 5 November 2020 at 98,649 miles was followed five days later by a pass at 98,669 miles with no defects listed, indicating the failure carried no recorded fault and the owner corrected any administrative or minor issue promptly. Given the absence of flagged wear on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion, the buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underbody rust and subframe integrity, as MOT passes with no defects do not certify absence of developing corrosion on a 2008 chassis. Tyres, wiper blades, and exhaust emissions should be verified for consumable condition despite the clean record. The sparse but unbroken pass history suggests previous owners kept basic statutory testing current, though the lack of advisories offers no insight into intermittent faults or overdue consumable replacement. A pre-purchase check of binding calipers and steering joints remains prudent given the vehicle's standing age and mileage.
