Tell me more about the diesel-powered Ford Fusion.
Are there any issues with the Ford Fusion diesel? Also, what would be the tax on a 2009 version of the same?

Hi Tom,
Very few, thankfully. Watch for damp carpets as the ventilation system filters have a habit of leaking and letting water into the cabin, and check too to make sure that all of the pipes and plumbing on the diesel engine are correct - there were some problems with them in that regard. There's also a recurring issue with the airbag warning light that seems to be more related to the light than the actual airbag, but it's irritating nonetheless.
The CO2 emissions for the 1.4 TDCi Fusion are 120g/km so it'll cost you €200 a year to tax.
