2010 Ford Fusion 1.6L Diesel · PE10 AEK

The 2010 Ford Fusion remains roadworthy with a stable maintenance record, as evidenced by its most recent MOT on 2025-07-17 at 98,280 miles, which returned a clean pass with no defects. All prior tests from 2021 to 2024 also showed no issues, indicating consistent upkeep. The vehicle’s mechanical systems have not exhibited recurring faults, and the absence of advisories or failures suggests the previous owner prioritized basic maintenance. However, the lack of recorded defects does not guarantee flawless condition, as some components may degrade without triggering MOT failures. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging 6,142 miles annually. From 90,700 miles in 2021 to 98,280 in 2025, the increase shows steady accumulation without significant gaps or spikes. The 2022 test at 94,439 miles marked a 3,739-mile rise from 2021, which is within normal parameters for annual usage. No anomalies in mileage suggest the vehicle has not been subject to prolonged inactivity or excessive strain, though this does not preclude hidden wear in high-mileage components like the drivetrain or suspension. A buyer should conduct a detailed inspection of the suspension system, particularly the rear coil springs and bushings, which can degrade over time without triggering MOT failures. The brake discs and calipers, critical for safety, should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, as these often develop gradually. Structural rust, especially in the underbody or chassis, warrants scrutiny, as older vehicles may suffer from hidden corrosion. While the MOT history shows no immediate concerns, these areas require physical verification to confirm the vehicle’s long-term reliability.
