2011 Ford Fusion 1.4L Petrol · OU61 XHC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, showing a stable maintenance trend following a specific mechanical failure. The most recent test conducted in November 2025 at 81,288 miles resulted in a pass, though it introduced advisories for both front tyres being near the legal limit. This indicates that while the mechanical components are functioning within tolerance, the vehicle is now entering a stage where consumable wear items will require immediate attention. The mileage profile is notably low for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,400 miles per year. The data shows a consistent usage pattern between March 2023 and November 2025, where the car covered roughly 18,000 miles over thirty-two months. The gap between the November 2024 and 2025 tests suggests the car is driven primarily for short distances. Such low mileage often leads to age-related degradation, such as perished rubber components or fluid breakdown, despite the lack of mechanical strain. A buyer should inspect the rear wheel assembly specifically to ensure the repair for the excessive play noted in the March 2023 failure at 63,409 miles was thorough and has not recurred. Given the recent advisories regarding uneven tyre wear on the front axle, a professional wheel alignment check is necessary, as edge wear often indicates tracking issues or worn bushes. The age of the vehicle also necessitates a close inspection for structural corrosion, as low-mileage cars that sit stationary can develop surface rust on the sills and mounting points.
