2007 Ford Fusion 1.4L Petrol · VA07 XYL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile despite two recent test failures. The most recent MOT conducted on 23 October 2025 at 91,096 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This followed a failure just one day prior at the same mileage, which suggests a minor, specific item was rectified immediately before the re-test. The lack of recorded advisories across the last three passing tests indicates that the vehicle is currently in good mechanical condition regarding its primary safety and emissions components. The recorded mileage stands at 91,096 miles for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging out to approximately 4,800 miles per year. This is significantly lower than the national average for a car of this age, suggesting light use or intermittent storage. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 6,500 miles driven between October 2023 and October 2024, and another 6,300 miles covered by October 2025. While low mileage generally preserves wear on drivetrain and engine components, it can increase the risk of rubber degradation and brake seizing from sitting stationary. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on areas prone to age-related decay rather than mileage-based wear. Given the vehicle's age, examine the chassis for structural corrosion on the sills and floor pans, where rust often accumulates regardless of distance driven. Check the brake system for signs of binding calipers or pitted discs, as low-frequency use often leads to surface rust buildup. Additionally, inspect the condition of suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls for cracking, as these materials perish over two decades even when the vehicle remains largely stationary.
