2010 Ford Fusion 1.4L Diesel · TUI 10

The vehicle's MOT history shows a pattern of recurring advisories and one failure, suggesting a maintenance trend that is neither improving nor resolving. The most recent test on 2 December 2025 indicates the vehicle passed, but the tester flagged a non-obligatory central rear upper stop lamp and an advisory regarding the nearside front tyre sidewall orientation. This follows a failure on 31 December 2024 due to incorrect headlamp aim on both the nearside and offside front lamps. The recorded mileage of 61,111 miles is low for a 2010 model, averaging approximately 3,819 miles per year. While the MOT records do not provide specific mileage for every individual test, the low annual accumulation suggests infrequent use. Such patterns can sometimes lead to issues with components that require regular operation, such as seals or braking surfaces, which is reflected in the documented advisories. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the exhaust system and braking components. The record from 31 December 2024 noted a loose rear exhaust silencer with corrosion and peeling outer skin, a condition that has appeared in the history. The nearside front brake disc was also flagged as worn, pitted, or scored during that same test. Furthermore, the presence of an oil leak, noted as not excessive in both the 21 December 2023 and 12 December 2022 tests, warrants a close examination of the engine bay for the source of the seepage. Electrical and bodywork issues also persist in the records. The central stop lamp has been flagged as non-working in three separate tests between December 2022 and December 2025. Water ingress in the nearside rear light unit and damage to the nearside front bumper were also noted in late 2024. Given the history of discoloured indicators and tyre wear issues, checking the condition of all lighting units, indicators, and tyre tread depth is necessary. buying_score: 55 risk_level: Medium.
