2005 Ford Fusion 1.4L Diesel · WG54 RZX

The 2005 Ford Fusion has a definitive roadworthiness status of failing, with the most recent MOT test in October 2025 showing a failure at 181,364 miles. This indicates that while the vehicle passed the initial 2025 inspection, a second failure in October 2024 confirms that the mechanical condition has deteriorated since the last successful test. The sequence of tests from 2023 to 2025 demonstrates a clear trend of worsening condition, with both 2023 and 2024 tests failing on the same vehicle. The failure in October 2024 is the most recent and definitive evidence of the vehicle's current state, signaling that the mechanical integrity has lost its reliability. The mileage trajectory reveals a significant gap between the 2025 and 2024 tests, with only 181,364 miles recorded between the two failed inspections. This gap suggests that the vehicle experienced a period of rapid mileage accumulation or a significant drop-off in usage, which may indicate that the owner has engaged in infrequent maintenance or that the vehicle has been driven in conditions that accelerated wear, particularly on the drivetrain components. While the vehicle passed the 2025 test, the lack of a 2024 test result implies that the car has been driven for over a year since the final successful test, and the data points confirm that the vehicle is currently in a state of failure. Based on the recurring faults and structural risks identified, a buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to evaluate suspension bushings, brake discs, and exhaust emissions. The history indicates that the braking system may be compromised, as a failure occurred in October 2024, which is a critical point of failure for the vehicle's safety. Additionally, the failure in 2023 and 2024 suggests that the exhaust emissions may be in a state of disrepair, a major concern for the vehicle's safety and legal status. The buyer should verify that the front and rear brakes are free of corrosion and that the suspension components are in acceptable condition before proceeding with the purchase.
