2016 FORD MUSTANG5.0L Petrol

The 2016 Ford Mustang has demonstrated stable roadworthiness in its most recent MOT on 2025-09-22 at 98,696 miles, with no defects recorded. However, the vehicle has a history of MOT failures in 2023 and 2022, both without recorded defects, suggesting potential minor issues that were resolved prior to subsequent passes. The absence of structural, braking, or emission failures in the latest test indicates the car is currently compliant, but the recurring failures without detailed diagnostics raise questions about underlying maintenance consistency. The vehicle’s mileage of 98,696 miles over 10 years aligns with typical usage, averaging ~9,870 miles annually. MOT tests are spaced approximately 12 months apart, reflecting standard maintenance intervals. No significant mileage spikes or extended gaps are evident, which mitigates concerns about excessive wear from heavy use or prolonged inactivity. The clean record in the most recent test suggests the owner has addressed prior issues, though the lack of defect details in earlier failures limits definitive analysis of repair effectiveness. A prospective buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and typical wear patterns. Brake components, including calipers and discs, warrant scrutiny to confirm no residual binding or uneven wear from past failures. While no corrosion or structural issues are noted in the MOT history, a thorough underbody check for rust is advisable. The absence of emission-related failures is positive, but verifying the catalytic converter and exhaust system integrity in person is recommended to ensure long-term compliance.
