How many miles can a Ford Fusion last for?

I’m interested in buying a used Ford Fusion, but the car already has around 50,000 miles on it. Before I buy it, I want to ensure the car won’t hit it’s maximum mileage anytime soon. How many miles will a Ford Fusion last for?

With proper maintenance, the
Ford Fusion
can potentially last for around 200,000 miles. 
Some Ford Fusion owners have claimed that their cars lasted up to 15 years, but the number largely depends on how often the car is driven and the car’s engine type.
You may also want to consider the year of the Fusion you’re looking at: The older or more frequently used a car is, the more susceptible it is to breaking down due to wear and tear. 
Additionally, you may have trouble finding an older car’s replacement parts, should you need to do any repairs.
To help your Ford Fusion last as long as possible:
  • Follow the
    routine maintenance
    requirements outlined in your owner’s manual
  • Make necessary repairs as soon as possible to avoid more serious damage
  • Practice gentler driving habits, such as with your braking and accelerating, to limit unnecessary wear and tear
  • Park your vehicle in a garage if possible, where it can be better protected against theft and severe weather
  • Know common problems associated with your vehicle so you can catch certain warning signs early on
The most common issues associated with the Ford Fusion include:
  • Engine stalls
  • Fires
  • Loss of acceleration
  • Steering failures
  • Transmission replacement
  • Leaks
