2007 Ford Fusion 1.4L Diesel · PF56 CEO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear trend of improvement over the last three years. Following the most recent test in October 2025 at 127,185 miles, the car passed with no recorded defects, indicating that previous mechanical and lighting issues have been successfully addressed. The transition from multiple advisories to a clean sheet suggests a more proactive approach to maintenance by the current or recent owner. At 127,185 miles, this 19-year-old Fusion averages approximately 6,700 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for an older hatchback. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 14,000 miles covered between September 2024 and October 2025, and another 10,000 miles in the preceding year. This regularity suggests the vehicle has been used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and corrosion of brake hardware. A physical inspection should focus on the suspension and braking components that showed early signs of wear. In the 2022 test, the tester flagged the front brake discs for pitting and scoring, alongside an offside front shock absorber showing oil misting. While these did not result in a failure, a buyer should verify that the shock absorbers have not developed significant leaks and that the brake discs remain smooth without thinning. Additionally, the 2022 advisory regarding perishing rear tyres indicates a need to check the sidewalls for age cracking, as rubber degrades over time regardless of tread depth.
