2009 Ford Fusion 1.6L Diesel · VO09 AAV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT test on 22 December 2025 with no defects recorded. While the record shows a failure on that same date at 172,161 miles, the immediate re-pass suggests a minor issue was rectified quickly before the re-test. The lack of advisories across the last three successful tests indicates that the vehicle is currently maintained in a clean mechanical state without immediate concerns regarding escalating structural or recurring component failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. Between December 2023 and December 2024, the car covered 11,996 miles, while the interval between December 2024 and December 2025 saw 4,088 miles. This slight dip in usage during the final recorded year does not appear to indicate a period of neglect or mechanical failure. The steady accumulation of miles suggests the vehicle is used regularly, which is generally beneficial for the drivetrain and braking components compared to cars with long periods of standing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the lower chassis and suspension components, as high-mileage Fusions often suffer from wear on rubber bushes and coil springs. Despite the clean MOT history, the age of the vehicle necessitates a close look for corrosion on the sills and exhaust mounting points. Given that the two recorded failures in late 2023 and 2025 resulted in no listed defects, the buyer should verify that any minor items, such as worn bulbs or slight fluid leaks that might have triggered those initial failures have been properly addressed.
