Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the vehicle
Prioritise the current advisories from the December 2025 MOT; a 'severely deteriorated' CV boot often requires immediate replacement to prevent drive shaft failure. You should also negotiate the price based on the need for new front brake discs, as these were noted as worn and pitted.
Request documentation to confirm if the oil leak and offside front ball joint play noted in August 2022 were ever rectified. Given the vehicle's age and mileage, a thorough check of the service history for timing belt and water pump replacements is essential for this 1.4L engine.
The 1388cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency and low insurance costs, typically falling into a modest insurance group. Fuel economy is expected to be average for a petrol vehicle of this era and body style.
Annual costs will be influenced by the vehicle's age, with maintenance likely increasing as wear-and-tear items like suspension components and brakes reach the end of their life. Expected annual spending covers road tax, insurance, fuel, and routine servicing.
Carefully inspect the nearside front drive shaft to confirm the condition of the CV boot, as the MOT history describes it as severely deteriorated. Check the surface of the front brake discs for the pitting and scoring mentioned in the latest report.
Listen for any humming or droning noises from the rear wheels, referencing the nearside rear wheel bearing failure recorded in August 2023. Finally, check the engine bay for signs of the oil leak identified during the 2022 MOT test.
This 2009 black Ford Fusion has recorded 119,773 miles. The MOT history shows a generally consistent record, though it has experienced failures and advisories related to suspension, bearings, and fluid leaks. The most recent test in December 2025 highlights urgent wear on the nearside front CV boot and brake discs.
