2017 FORD MUSTANG2.3L Petrol

The vehicle holds a current, clean MOT certificate dated 8 May 2025 having passed with no defects at 64,552 miles. Looking at the four consecutive annual tests from March 2022 through May 2025, each one passed without a single advisory item. This points to a maintenance record that is consistent and stable, with no evidence of recurring faults, mechanical deterioration, or structural corrosion emerging over the three-year period covered by the data. The recorded annual mileage profile is somewhat uneven. Between March 2022 and April 2023, the car covered roughly 5,827 miles, which is below the typical yearly average. The following twelve months saw that number rise to 13,712 miles, before dropping again to 13,022 miles between April 2024 and May 2025. The overall average of about 7,172 miles per year is typical for a nine-year-old vehicle, but the sharp jump in the final two years suggests the car transitioned from occasional light use to more regular daily driving, which increases wear on consumables. Given this history, the on-paper record is reassuring, but a pre-purchase inspection should focus on the items hardest hit by the recent higher-mileage stint. Check the brake discs and pads for scoring and lip wear, and look for any signs of binding calipers or uneven pad wear. The suspension bushes, ball joints, and dampers deserve attention too, particularly at the rear where the Mustang's independent setup takes load. Also examine the structural sills, subframes, and floor pans for corrosion, as surface rust can take hold quickly on a car used more frequently in wet conditions. Tyres should be checked for even tread wear and age, since several years of standing early in the car's life can leave older rubber on the rims.
