2025 Ford Explorer Premium EV Electric · AF75 WDJ

There is currently no DVSA MOT history available for this vehicle, which is expected given its 2025 registration date. As new vehicles in the United Kingdom are exempt from the annual MOT test for the first three years, the first official inspection is not due until 2028. Consequently, no official failure trends or advisory patterns can be established through government records, meaning the vehicle's current roadworthiness relies entirely on its manufacturer warranty status and the owner's adherence to the prescribed service schedule. The recorded mileage is currently unknown, which prevents a definitive analysis of the annual usage rate relative to the vehicle's age. For a vehicle of this vintage, a lack of mileage data necessitates a careful verification of the odometer and the digital service history to ensure it has not been subjected to excessive commercial use or, conversely, prolonged periods of inactivity. High mileage in a short window would accelerate the wear of suspension bushes and tyres, while very low usage can lead to specific degradation issues related to stagnation. Given the absence of a defect history, the buyer should focus on physical inspections typical for a modern electric vehicle. Particular attention must be paid to the brake discs; because EVs utilise regenerative braking, the physical friction brakes are used less frequently, which often leads to surface corrosion or binding calipers. A test drive should be used to listen for any shuddering or unevenness during braking. Additionally, the tyre sidewalls should be inspected for any signs of perishing or cracking if the vehicle has been stationary for long periods, and the tread depth should be checked for uneven wear that might indicate an alignment issue. Finally, the health of the 12V auxiliary battery should be verified, as these can degrade if the vehicle is not regularly charged or driven. The buyer should request a battery health report for the high-voltage traction battery to confirm the state of health and ensure no significant capacity loss has occurred. Verification of the digital service book is essential to confirm that any required software updates or calendar-based fluid changes, such as brake fluid replacement, have been performed according to Ford's specifications to maintain the validity of the manufacturer warranty.
