2009 Ford Fusion 1.4L Diesel · SY58 VDA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes over the last four years. The most recent test on 18 December 2024 at 113,466 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, following a failure just two days prior at 113,441 miles. This brief failure likely indicates a minor component issue, such as a blown bulb or a sensor fault, which was immediately rectified before the retest. The lack of advisories in the 2024 record suggests the vehicle is currently in a clean mechanical state. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,674 miles per year. Between December 2021 and December 2024, the car covered 11,719 miles, showing a steady usage pattern rather than long periods of neglect or sudden heavy use. This low annual mileage generally implies less wear on high-stress drivetrain components and engine, though it can sometimes lead to hardening of rubber components. The regular interval between annual MOT tests indicates the previous owner maintained a proactive approach to legal testing requirements. While the digital history is clean, a buyer should still inspect the vehicle for common Ford Fusion age-related wear. Given the age, focus the inspection on structural integrity around the sills, rear arches, and floor pans, where rust often begins to manifest. Check the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking, as low mileage does not prevent rubber degradation over time. Since the record shows no recurring brake issues or exhaust leaks, a physical check of the brake lines and exhaust condition remains necessary to ensure the low mileage has not masked underlying surface corrosion.
