2006 Ford GT 5.4L Petrol · GT05 UFO

The 2025 test at 370 miles returned a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded, mirroring the two previous examinations in 2024 and 2023. This establishes a stable, fault-free MOT trend across the last three annual cycles. The most recent certificate expired in June 2026, so the car currently sits without a valid ticket unless a fresh test has been secured off-record. Mileage accumulation remains negligible for a twenty-year-old supercar. The odometer moved from 95 miles in May 2023 to 280 miles a year later, then crept to just 370 miles by June 2025. That pattern confirms long-term storage rather than regular use, with the vehicle covering roughly 90 miles in the most recent twelve-month window. Such dormancy raises more concern than high-mileage wear because rubber and hydraulic components degrade silently while stationary. A pre-purchase inspection must focus on age-related deterioration that the MOT does not capture. Verify the tyre date codes; sidewalls likely show cracking despite legal tread depth. Check brake discs for surface corrosion and test caliper operation for seizure after years of inactivity. Examine suspension bushes and steering rack gaiters for perishing, and confirm the timing belt and coolant hoses have been replaced on a time basis rather than mileage. The aluminium chassis resists structural rust, but inspect subframe mounts and brake pipe unions for galvanic corrosion. Fuel system integrity and tank liner condition also warrant scrutiny given the extended periods with stale petrol.
