1968 FORD MUSTANG6.4L Petrol

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, showing a trend of clean passes in recent years. The most recent MOT test in September 2021 at 18,200 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car was in good mechanical condition at that time. However, because it has been five years since the last recorded inspection, the current roadworthiness remains unverified and requires a fresh test to ensure no degradation has occurred during periods of inactivity. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 26-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 700 miles per year. Data shows a significant plateau in usage; for instance, the car covered only 260 miles between 2014 and 2016, and just 720 miles over the preceding two years. This suggests the vehicle has likely been stored for long durations. While this limits wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it increases the risk of age-related failure such as perished rubber seals, seized calipers, and brake fluid contamination. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and suspension mounting points. Historical records from 2007 to 2009 highlight recurring corrosion on steering mountings and the chassis rail, which led to a failure due to excessive oxidation. Although later tests showed only minor corrosion, the history of rust in these specific areas warrants a thorough underbody check. Additionally the anti-roll bar bushes and linkages, which were flagged for deterioration in 2011 and 2014, should be checked for cracking or dry rot from long-term storage.
