2008 Ford Fusion 1.4L Petrol · PN58 OCH

The MOT history for this 2008 Ford Fusion shows a pattern of intermittent failures followed by passes, though the most recent record from 1 September 2025 indicates a pass with no defects. The maintenance trend appears inconsistent. The vehicle failed its test on 1 September 2025 and previously failed on 21 August 2024, despite passing on 29 August 2024 and 15 August 2023. While the most recent result shows no recorded defects, the repeated failures in consecutive years suggest periodic issues that require rectification to meet minimum standards. The recorded mileage of 98,021 miles is relatively low for an 18-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,446 miles per year. The data provided does not show specific mileage increments for each individual test date, which prevents a precise calculation of annual distance travelled between 2023 and 2025. However, the low overall mileage suggests the vehicle has seen lighter usage than typical for its age, which can sometimes lead to issues such as seized components or degraded rubber parts from long periods of inactivity. Because the MOT records for the failures in 2024 and 2025 do not specify the exact nature of the defects, a physical inspection is necessary to identify previous problem areas. A buyer should specifically examine the suspension bushes, coil springs, and braking system, including checking for binding calipers or worn brake discs. Given the age of the vehicle, inspecting the structural integrity for corrosion on the sills and underside is also essential, as well as checking the condition of the exhaust system and tyre tread depths.
