2017 Ford Mustang 5.0L Petrol · D2 GAU

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, evidenced by the most recent MOT test in March 2026 at 44,177 miles which returned with no recorded defects. This indicates an improving maintenance trend following a period of neglected tyre-related issues. The clean result of the latest inspection suggests that the owner addressed the mechanical concerns raised in previous years, bringing the car back to passing standards. At nine years old, the recorded mileage of 44,177 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 4,900 miles per year. The usage pattern appears consistent, with annual intervals of roughly 2,500 to 3,000 miles between the 2022 and 2026 tests. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, it can lead to the degradation of rubber components if the vehicle sits stationary. The data shows the car has likely been used for short trips or seasonal outings rather than long-distance commuting. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the tyre fitment and suspension geometry. The February 2025 test at 41,449 miles flagged all four tyres as worn to the legal limit with signs of edge wear and perishing. These recurring faults often indicate incorrect wheel alignment or worn suspension bushes. Although these may have been replaced since the last test, a physical inspection should check for uneven wear on the current rubber to ensure the underlying cause of the previous premature wear was properly rectified. The low mileage also necessitates a close look at the brake discs and calipers for pitting, which can occur on vehicles that are used infrequently. The record shows no history of structural corrosion or mechanical failures, which is a positive indicator for a vehicle of this age. Verifying that the current tyres are fresh and free of cracking is essential given the history noted in 2025.
