2006 Ford Fusion 1.6L Diesel · WK56 VDX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 19 May 2025 at 125,504 miles with no defects recorded. While the history shows a pattern of immediate failures just prior to successful tests, the lack of recorded advisories in the last two passes suggests that the owner is proactively addressing issues before the annual inspection deadline. The current trend indicates a vehicle that is maintained to a passing standard, though the recurring re-test failures suggest a reactive approach to repairs rather than a strictly preventative maintenance schedule. At 125,504 miles, this twenty-year-old Ford Fusion averages approximately 6,275 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. The mileage data shows consistent annual intervals, with roughly 6,900 miles covered between April 2023 and May 2024, and approximately 4,400 miles between May 2024 and May 2025. This regular progression suggests the car does not suffer from long periods of stagnation, which often leads to seal degradation and rubber component perish, though the low annual mileage puts a higher relative load on the engine and suspension components over the long term. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity, specifically the rear sills and subframe, as these are common areas for corrosion on this model that may not yet have triggered recorded MOT advisories. Given the age and mileage, the suspension bushes and coil springs should be checked for signs of excessive wear or tearing. Because the history shows recent failures without recorded defects, the buyer must also inspect the brake system for binding calipers or uneven wear to ensure that the issues causing the previous failures have been permanently rectified rather than merely masked.
