2009 Ford Fusion 1.6L Diesel · NX09 YUD

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass record over the last several years. The most recent inspection conducted in February 2024 at 97,210 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car met all regulatory standards at that time. While a single failure occurred in November 2022, the immediate retest pass the following day suggests a minor issue that was rectified quickly by the owner without allowing a systemic mechanical failure to persist. At 97,210 miles, this seventeen-year-old Ford Fusion has covered significantly low mileage, averaging approximately 5,700 miles per year. This low-intensity usage often implies less mechanical strain on the drivetrain and engine, though it can also lead to the degradation of rubber-based components due to age. The gap between November 2021 and November 2022 shows an increase of nearly 5,000 miles, while the subsequent 3,800 miles covered between 2022 and 2024 maintain this pattern of light use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity and the sills, as low-mileage vehicles of this era are prone to hidden corrosion that MOT testers may not always prioritize. Because the record shows no recurring suspension or brake faults, a check for perished bushes or worn control arms is still necessary given the vehicle's age. Additionally, inspect the tyres and discs for signs of seized calipers or pitting, which frequently occur when a car sits for long periods between journeys.
