2018 Ford Mustang 2.3L Petrol · AF18 AEP

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-10-03 at 57,770 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the past two years. Previous tests from 2024 and 2023 also showed no critical issues, suggesting consistent upkeep. However, a duplicate entry on 2024-02-02 lists both a pass and a fail at the same mileage (43,236 miles), which may reflect a data inconsistency rather than an actual failure. No structural, braking, or emissions-related faults were noted in valid tests, supporting the conclusion that the car remains roadworthy. Mileage progression aligns with average usage for an 8-year-old vehicle, averaging ~7,221 miles annually. The 2023-02-01 test at 36,123 miles preceded a 7,113-mile increase by 2024-02-02, followed by a slower 3,957-mile rise to 47,193 miles by 2024-10-08. This pattern suggests occasional periods of higher activity but no rapid wear indicators. The absence of recurring defects in MOT records implies no systemic mechanical degradation, though the sparse data from 2024-02-02 complicates a full assessment of that period. A buyer should physically inspect suspension components, particularly rear coil springs and bushings, which are common wear points on this model. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, as these can develop without MOT triggers. Structural integrity remains unconfirmed by the records, so a thorough underbody inspection for rust or panel damage is advisable. The lack of emissions or safety-related advisories in recent tests is positive, but visual checks on exhaust system integrity and body corrosion are recommended to confirm long-term maintenance standards.
