2004 Ford Fusion 1.6L Petrol · YP04 WUT

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate following a pass on 18 July 2025 at 88,849 miles. The test record shows a stable trend, characterized by four consecutive passes between July 2022 and July 2025. While the vehicle failed a test on 16 July 2025, the immediate pass two days later suggests the issue was either administrative or a minor rectifiable fault, as no specific defects were logged against the failure. The recorded mileage of 88,849 miles over a 22-year period averages approximately 4,039 miles per annum. This low usage rate is consistent across the provided history, with no evidence of significant mileage spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity that might indicate long-term storage. The consistency of the annual testing schedule suggests the vehicle has remained in regular, light use rather than being abandoned or subjected to high-intensity operation. Given the age of this Ford Fusion, the absence of recorded advisories in the recent MOT history does not preclude underlying degradation. Prospective buyers should conduct a physical inspection focusing on structural integrity, specifically looking for corrosion on the sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points, which are common failure areas for this model. Components such as rubber suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake lines often perish due to age rather than mileage and may require replacement despite the clean MOT record. A thorough check of the exhaust system and the condition of the brake discs for surface corrosion is also advised before purchase. Buying score: 75. Risk level: Low.
