Our Verdict
A highly recommended purchase for those seeking a reliable, low-mileage city car. This specific Ford Fusion has an exceptionally clean record and very low usage for its age.
Given the very low mileage for a 2006 model, your primary focus should be on the service history. Ensure the oil and filters have been changed regularly, even if the car wasn't driven long distances, as stagnant oil can lead to sludge build-up in the 1.6L petrol engine.
Check for signs of age-related wear that occurs regardless of mileage, such as perished rubber seals or tyre cracking. Negotiate based on the age of the tyres and whether a major service has been performed recently to maintain its current mechanical health.
The 1.6L petrol engine is generally economical for its era, though it will not match modern hybrids. You can expect modest fuel costs and a relatively low insurance group, making it an affordable daily driver.
Maintenance costs should remain low given the vehicle's current state, provided the basic service intervals are followed. Tax will be based on the 2006 CO2 emissions brackets for this engine size.
While the MOT history shows no recorded defects from 2023 to 2025, always perform a physical check of the underbody for surface rust, which is common in vehicles of this vintage. Inspect the black paintwork for fading or clear-coat peel, as dark colours can show age more prominently if left in the sun.
Check the operation of all electrical components and the condition of the interior fabrics. Since the MOTs were passed without any recorded advisories, focus your inspection on the mechanical smoothness of the gear changes and the responsiveness of the brakes.
This 2006 black Ford Fusion is in remarkable condition for a twenty-year-old vehicle, showing just 64,457 miles on the odometer. The MOT history is impressively clean, with no recorded defects over the last three years of testing. It represents a strong value proposition for a buyer prioritising low mileage and a documented history of passing inspections.
While aggregate data is unavailable, this specific example demonstrates high reliability with a clean MOT record over several years.
