Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to recent mechanical advisories. While it has passed its MOTs, the recurring oil leaks and fuel injector issues require immediate investigation.
When viewing this vehicle, prioritize checking the recent diesel injector leak noted in the October 2025 MOT. This can be a costly repair and may affect engine performance. You should also ask for evidence of how the oil leak mentioned in both 2024 and 2025 has been addressed, as recurring leaks can indicate deeper gasket or seal issues.
Negotiate based on the potential upcoming maintenance required for the tyres and braking system, as the history shows frequent issues with tyre wear and previous brake pipe corrosion. Ensure you see a service history that aligns with the mileage, particularly regarding timing belt changes which are critical for this engine type at this age and mileage.
As a 1.4L diesel, this Ford Fusion is designed for economy, likely sitting in a relatively low insurance group and tax band suitable for budget-conscious drivers. Fuel economy should be decent for its age, though injector issues can negatively impact MPG if left unaddressed.
Typical maintenance costs for a vehicle of this age will include regular oil changes and suspension upkeep. Given the MOT history of tyre and brake-related advisories, expect to budget for periodic replacement of consumables. An estimated annual running cost is approximately £1,100-£1,400, depending on annual mileage and insurance profile.
Specifically inspect the engine bay for signs of the oil leak mentioned in the 2024 and 2025 MOT tests. Look for fresh oil residue around gaskets. Given the 2025 advisory regarding a leaking diesel injector, listen for any rough idling or uneven engine note during a test drive.
Check the condition of all four tyres, as the 2023 and 2024 records highlight frequent issues with tyres being worn to the legal limit or perishing. Additionally, inspect the underside for any signs of corrosion on the brake pipes, following the failure noted in the 2023 MOT.
This 2009 silver Ford Fusion 1.4 diesel has covered 133,815 miles since its first registration in May 2009. The MOT history shows a pattern of maintenance-related issues, including tyre wear, suspension components, and more recently, fuel injector and oil leaks. At over 133,000 miles, the vehicle is entering a high-mileage stage of its life where component fatigue is evident in the records.
No aggregate reliability data is currently available for the Ford Fusion to provide a comparative baseline.
