FORD MUSTANG2017 · 2.3L PETROL

The vehicle remains technically roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift toward neglected basic consumable upkeep. While the most recent test in May 2025 at 46,899 miles passed, it introduced multiple advisories regarding uneven tyre wear and rim damage. This represents a departure from the clean records seen between 2021 and 2023, suggesting that the current owner is becoming less proactive with preventative maintenance. At 46,899 miles over nine years, the Mustang has clocked a low average of approximately 5,200 miles annually. The data reveals a period of significant use between April 2024 and May 2025, where the car covered over 11,000 miles in just thirteen months. This spike in mileage likely accelerated the wear on the front brake pads noted in the 2024 test. Such low-mileage vehicles often suffer from dry rot in rubber components when stationary, which is evidenced here by the specific condition of the tyre edges. A buyer must conduct a physical inspection of the suspension geometry, as the 2025 test flagged three tyres worn on the edges, which often indicates incorrect alignment or worn suspension bushes. The distorted offside front rim also noted in the same test suggests a past impact history that could have affected the wheel bearing or steering assembly. Furthermore, since the front brake pads were flagged as thin in 2024, the remaining material thickness should be measured to ensure they have been replaced since that advisory.
