2011 Ford Fusion 1.4L Petrol · SH61 XHB

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a recent shift toward minor component neglect. The most recent test in February 2026 at 92,514 miles resulted in a pass despite failures for a non-obligatory stop lamp and a registration plate lamp. While these are minor electrical issues that do not impact safety, they indicate a lack of attention to pre-inspection checks by the current owner. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-useage older vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. There is a notable increase in usage of 12,468 miles between February 2024 and January 2025, followed by a similar rapid accumulation of 11,804 miles leading into the February 2026 test. This suggests the car is currently being used more frequently, though the overall age of 15 years means that rubber-based components are subject to degradation regardless of the low distance driven. A buyer must prioritise an inspection of the front suspension and geometry. The February 2024 test at 68,242 miles flagged front tyres wearing on inner edges alongside worn front brake discs. This combination frequently points to alignment issues or worn suspension bushes, which can lead to premature tyre failure if not addressed. Furthermore, the 2025 advisory regarding cracking and perishing on both rear tyres suggests the rubber compound has surpassed its shelf life, necessitating a thorough check for structural integrity in the sidewalls.
