Known faults for Ford Ford Fusion (Europe)
Our database tracks 3 specific mechanical faults and recurring failure patterns identified across UK MOT testing stations for this generation.
MOT Roadworthiness: Excellent
This rating reflects historical MOT pass rates and recurring advisory wear patterns from official DVSA test logs. Note that roadworthiness does not verify outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen records.

Our Verdict
A highly attractive option for buyers seeking a low-mileage example of this Ford model. The exceptionally low mileage and clean MOT history suggest a vehicle that has seen very little road use.
Given the very low annual mileage, your primary focus should be on how the car has been stored and whether it has been serviced regularly despite the lack of use. Low-mileage petrol engines can sometimes suffer from issues related to inactivity, such as perished rubber components or fuel degradation, so ensure any recent maintenance is documented.
When negotiating, ask for evidence of oil changes and fluid refreshes, as these are critical for cars that spend long periods stationary. Check the tyre age and condition; even if the tread looks deep, tyres that are several years old may be prone to cracking due to age rather than wear.
With a 1.4L petrol engine, this Fusion is designed for economy and should sit in a relatively low insurance group. Fuel economy for this engine size is typically moderate, making it suitable for urban driving and short commutes.
Maintenance costs for a Ford of this era are generally predictable and affordable, with many parts being widely available. Expect an annual running cost to be relatively low, though you should budget for standard items like oil, filters, and tyres.
Since the MOT history from 2022 to 2025 shows zero defects, there are no specific recurring failure patterns to warn you about on this particular vehicle. However, you should perform a thorough visual inspection of the braking system and suspension components, as these can sometimes seize or degrade on vehicles that are driven infrequently.
Check the blue paintwork for signs of UV fading or clear coat failure, which can occur on older vehicles kept outdoors. Additionally, inspect the interior for any signs of dampness or mustiness, which can sometimes affect cars that have been sitting idle for extended periods.
This 2007 Blue Ford Fusion has covered just 26,757 miles in its nearly 19-year life, which is significantly lower than the UK average for a vehicle of this age. The MOT history is notably clean, with four consecutive passes from 2022 to 2025 showing no recorded defects or advisories. While the records confirm the vehicle has been tested, they do not provide visibility into its mechanical service history.
There is no aggregate MOT data available to provide a specific reliability rating for the Ford Fusion.

Common Problems: FORD FUSION
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Pollen Filter Housing Bulkhead Water Ingress(Moderate)
The cabin pollen filter on the Ford Fusion is located within the heater bulkhead beneath the windscreen scuttle panel. Over time, the factory foam weather-seal on the pollen filter housing cover deteriorates, dries out, and degrades from exposure to heat and moisture. Rainwater running off the windscreen bypasses the degraded seal and flows directly into the passenger footwell, soaking sound-deadening insulation and risking corrosion to the interior wiring harness and fusebox.
- 1.4 TDCi Common-Rail Fuel Injector Copper Washer Leak(Moderate)
On 1.4-litre Duratorq TDCi diesel engines, the copper crush washers sealing the base of the fuel injectors against the cylinder head fire face can harden, erode, and fail. High-pressure combustion gases blow past the failed copper seal, venting hot diesel soot, hydrocarbons, and unburnt fuel into the injector wells. Over time, this baked soot solidifies into a hard, tar-like black carbon crust known as black death, damaging the injector body, creating exhaust fumes in the cabin, and making injector removal difficult.
- Durashift EST Automated Manual Transmission Actuator Fault(Serious)
The optional Durashift Electronic Shift Transmission (EST) utilizes an automated mechanical clutch and electro-mechanical gear selector actuators mounted to a standard manual gearbox. Over time, internal electric actuator motors suffer brush wear, moisture ingress, or solder joint failure on the integrated control module. When the transmission control unit loses position calibration or cannot actuate the clutch, the system enters fail-safe mode, flashing a transmission warning on the instrument cluster and preventing engine cranking.
