2009 Ford Fusion 1.6L Petrol · YS09 DXU

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following its most recent MOT pass on 25 November 2025 at 139,703 miles. The maintenance trend indicates a stable but reactive pattern, as the car consistently fails initial inspections before passing upon retest. In both 2024 and 2025, the vehicle failed its first test but passed within a week of the failure. This suggests that minor defects or consumable items are being addressed only when prompted by a test failure rather than through preventative mechanical servicing. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 139,703 miles averages approximately 8,218 miles per annum, which aligns with typical national averages for an older hatchback. The data shows consistent usage over the last two, with 8,417 miles covered between January 2024 and November 2024, and another 14,864 miles covered between November 2024 and November 2025. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is used regularly, which generally helps prevent the accelerated degradation of seals and braking components that occurs during long periods of standing. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection focusing on the components most likely to cause immediate failures. While the record shows no specific defects recorded on the failures, the recurring retests often point to minor issues such as blown bulbs, wipers, or slight fluid leaks that are quickly rectified. Given the age of the Ford Fusion, particular attention must be paid to structural corrosion on the sills, floor pans, and underside. Inspect the suspension bushes for perish and check the brake discs for excessive thinning to ensure the high mileage has not led to mechanical wear beyond standard expectations.
