2007 Ford Fusion 1.4L Petrol · WG07 ABV

The overall roadworthiness status is fair but with clear concerns. The most recent test in November 2025 at 72,053 miles passed, yet the record shows a pattern of recurring failures across multiple cycles. The 2024 December test failed on four separate items, including rear fog lamp, exhaust heat shield, and four tyre issues, while the 2023 May test failed on fog lamp, stop lamps, and rear tyre wear. The 2025 November pass is a positive, but the persistence of defects since 2023 indicates an ongoing maintenance trend rather than a stable, resolved state. The mileage of 72,053 miles over 19 years is notably low, averaging roughly 3,792 miles per year. This is a light use figure, which can suggest the vehicle was driven sparingly or left to stand for long periods. The low mileage is not inherently problematic, but it means the vehicle has not been subjected to the normal wear and tear that higher-mileage cars experience, so the remaining life of components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs is not yet fully exposed. The fact that the 2024 December test failed on tyre wear at 63,328 miles, and the 2023 May test failed on rear tyre wear at 54,444 miles, indicates that tyre condition has been a recurring issue across multiple tests. A buyer should inspect the front and rear suspension assemblies, particularly the sub-frame corrosion noted in the 2025 test and the mounting prescribed area. The 2024 test flagged binding rear brakes and deteriorated ball joint dust covers, which are serious mechanical risks. The 2023 test’s failed stop lamps and fog lamp issues suggest the electrical systems have not been properly maintained. The rear exhaust heat shield and headlamp lenses should be checked for cracks or delamination, as these are common failure points on older vehicles. Tyre condition across all four corners should be thoroughly examined, as the record shows repeated issues with tyre wear and cracking.
