2016 Ford Mustang 5.0L Petrol · MU12 ANG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy as of the 2026-02-05 test, having passed after remediation of the windscreen washer failure from an earlier failed attempt on the same day. However, the recurring advisories on front tyre condition—identical in every test since February 2024—indicate a stable but persistent issue rather than improvement, suggesting ongoing neglect or limited use without addressing tyre degradation. Mileage has increased only 649 miles over the past 12 months (from 15,611 in February 2024 to 16,260 in February 2026), consistent with the overall low annual average of around 1,600 miles. There are no gaps exceeding 12 months between tests, and the progression is steady with no sudden jumps, implying consistent, light usage. The near-identical mileage increments between tests (e.g., +239 miles in 2024–25, +399 in 2025–26) suggest regular, minimal driving, possibly short trips or seasonal use. Buyers should pay close attention to the front tyres, as repeated advisories for cracking or perishing indicate advanced age-related deterioration rather than tread wear—tyres may need replacement regardless of tread depth. The light misting of oil on the nearside front shock absorber, noted in both 2024 and 2025, warrants inspection for seal failure or fluid leakage, especially given its persistence. While no structural corrosion, brake wear, or suspension component failures have been recorded, the repeated washer fluid deficiency points to potential lack of routine fluid top-ups or basic maintenance awareness by prior owners. A pre-purchase inspection focusing on tyre integrity, suspension component seals, and fluid levels would be prudent before committing.
