FORD MUSTANG2020 · 5.0L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection on 8 June 2026 at 8,840 miles. While the overall maintenance trend appears stable, the latest test result marks a shift from perfectly clean records in previous years to specific defects. The tester flagged all four tyres for cracking or perishing, indicating that the rubber has reached its service limit due to age rather than tread wear. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,473 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-impact usage moving from 4,628 miles in June 2023 to 8,840 miles in June 2026. This pattern suggests the car has been stored for long periods, which explains the lack of mechanical wear and tear on the drivetrain and suspension components. However, this lack of use often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components, as evidenced by the findings in the most recent MOT advisory. A buyer must physically inspect the condition of the tyre set, as the 2026 advisory suggests they require immediate replacement. Because the vehicle has likely sat for extended intervals, a thorough check is also required for brake corrosion on the discs and potential flat spots on the tyres. Inspection should also extend to the suspension bushings and fluid integrity, as these components can dry out or degrade when a vehicle is not driven regularly.
