2011 Ford Fusion 1.4L Diesel · YC11 AEJ

The 2011 Ford Fusion presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 30 March 2026 at 86,712 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a clean pass on 4 April 2025 at 83,709 miles. The vehicle shows no recurring advisories or mechanical faults across the five-year record, indicating consistent compliance with DVSA standards. Recorded mileage sits at 86,712 against an age of roughly fifteen years, equating to about 5,781 miles per year. The history shows steady annual accumulation: 72,280 miles in April 2023, 78,372 in April 2024, 83,708 at the failed test and 83,709 at the pass on 4 April 2025, then 86,712 by March 2026. The only anomaly is the dual entry on 4 April 2025 where the car failed at 83,708 miles with no defects listed before passing the same day at 83,709 miles, a likely administrative or retest anomaly rather than a genuine fault. Otherwise the data is sparse and clean, with no gaps exceeding standard twelve-month cycles. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished record. Low annual mileage and the same-day fail-pass in April 2025 suggest the car may have stood idle for periods, raising the risk of perished suspension bushes, seized brake calipers, or underbody corrosion unseen by the tester. Examine coil springs, brake discs, and structural integrity for rust, particularly around sills and subframes. Verify the April 2025 anomaly with the selling garage to confirm no suppressed defect. Check tyres and wiper blades for age-related degradation rather than wear. The Fusion's clean MOT lineage implies reasonable previous ownership, but standing time demands hands-on checks before purchase.
