2009 Ford Fusion 1.4L Petrol · WP59 HMZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the most recention indicates a minor decline in maintenance standards regarding basic consumables. While the car passed four consecutive annual tests from 2021 to 2024 with zero defects, the December 2025 test at 38,697 miles identified both the offside and nearside front tyres as worn close to the legal limit with edge wear. This suggests that Routine light vehicle maintenance has recently been neglected. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a vehicle of 2009, averaging approximately 2,276 miles per year. The data shows a consistent low-usage pattern, with for example, the car covered only 3,694 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and 4,539 miles since then. While low mileage reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, such infrequent use often risks the degradation of rubber-based components, seals, and fluid chemistry due to long periods of inactivity. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking system, as the noted edge wear on the front tyres may indicate alignment issues or worn bushes. It is also critical to check for corrosion on the underside and brake lines, as low-mileage cars are often prone to environmental rust when not driven regularly. Given the age of the vehicle, the condition of the tyres and rubber hoses should be verified for cracking or perish rot, regardless of the remaining tread depth.
