2004 Ford Mustang 4.6L Petrol · MU53 ANG

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes over the last five years. The most recent test on 11 February 2026 at 60,411 miles recorded no defects or advisories, maintaining a stable trend of excellent presentation. This streak suggests the car has been maintained to a standard that avoids the mechanical or structural failures typically seen in older vehicles. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 22-year-old Mustang, averaging approximately 2,746 miles per year. Between February 2022 and February 2026, the car covered 10,957 miles, showing a consistent usage rate of roughly 2,700 miles annually. While this low mileage reduces the wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the infrequent use increases the risk of age-related degradation in perishable parts such as rubber seals and hoses, which often fail when a vehicle sits stationary for long periods. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer must conduct a physical inspection of components susceptible to low-mileage storage. Check the suspension bushes for signs of cracking or perished and inspect the brake lines for corrosion, as these can degrade over time regardless of distance driven. Verify the integrity of the chassis and floor pans, as older vehicles are prone to structural rust that may not appear during a standard MOT inspection. Ensure the tyres are not aged or sidewalled, as low mileage often masks rubber hardening that occurs while tread remains.
