2006 Ford Fusion 1.4L Petrol · SH56 AEK

The 2025‑04‑19 MOT at 88,940 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming current roadworthiness and indicating a stable maintenance trend. Three consecutive tests since 2022 have each produced the same clean result, suggesting consistent upkeep. The odometer reads 88,940 miles, about 4,447 miles per year for a 2006 model, which is low relative to its age. Mileage has risen from 74,261 miles in April 2022 to 88,940 miles by April 2025, a gain of 14,679 miles over 33 months, with a notable acceleration between October 2022 and March 2024 where 14,640 miles were added in just over a year. The brief two‑month interval between the February and April 2025 tests added only two miles, indicating recent low usage. A buyer should therefore examine rear brake calipers for binding, inspect suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, and check chassis rails and wheel arches for structural rust, as these components frequently show deterioration in vehicles of this age and mileage. Tyre tread depth, exhaust condition, and brake disc wear should be verified, since the record shows no explicit defects but does not rule out latent wear. The clean test history does not guarantee the absence of hidden corrosion or component fatigue, so a thorough physical inspection remains essential before final purchase.
