2025 Ford Explorer Select EV Electricity · DN25 PBY

As the vehicle is a 2025 model and the current date is September 2026, there is no official MOT history available via the DVSA database. This is expected as the vehicle has not yet reached the mandatory three-year threshold for its first MOT test. Consequently, it is impossible to establish a maintenance trend or identify any historical patterns of mechanical failure or recurring defects through official testing records. The absence of data does not necessarily indicate a lack of care, but rather reflects the very recent age of the vehicle and its status as a relatively new registration. Regarding the recorded mileage, there is currently insufficient data to determine the annual usage rate or to assess whether the vehicle has been driven extensively or has remained stationary. For an electric vehicle, the lack of mileage data is a significant variable for long-term reliability. If the vehicle has covered very low mileage, there is a risk of component stagnation; conversely, high mileage for its age would necessitate a closer inspection of the suspension components and tyre tread depth. It is imperative that the buyer cross-references the odometer reading with the service book and any digital service records to ensure the mileage is consistent and has not been tampered with. Given the lack of recorded advisories, the inspection should focus on age-related and usage-specific physical checks. Because electric vehicles rely heavily on regenerative braking, the mechanical friction brakes may experience more rapid corrosion on the brake discs and binding in the calipers if the car has been frequently parked or used sparingly. During a test drive, listen for any grinding or squealing when applying the brakes and check for any shuddering that might indicate surface oxidation. Additionally, inspect the tyres for signs of perishing or sidewall cracking, which can occur even if tread depth is sufficient if the vehicle has been standing for extended periods. Furthermore, pay close attention to the health of the 12V auxiliary battery, as these are critical for managing the vehicle's electronic systems and can degrade if the car is left uncharged. Check all fluid levels, specifically the brake fluid and the battery coolant, as these are subject to time-based degradation regardless of mileage. Finally, ensure that the manufacturer's warranty remains valid by verifying that all scheduled service intervals have been met and documented. A thorough physical inspection of the suspension bushes and steering linkages is also advised to ensure no premature wear has occurred, despite the vehicle's relatively new status.
