2012 Ford Mustahg 3.3L Petrol · FHJ 529D

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance trend, passing its most recent MOT on 12 September 2022 at 72,645 miles with zero defects. The preceding test on 23 August 2021 at 71,740 miles also passed cleanly. This indicates the vehicle met minimum roadworthiness standards at both inspections without requiring any remedial work. The recorded mileage of 72,645 miles equates to an annual average of roughly 5,189 miles, which is notably low for a 14-year-old vehicle. Between the 2021 and 2022 tests, the Mustang covered just 905 miles, suggesting either very light use or prolonged periods of standing. The MOT record is sparse, containing only two entries, which limits the ability to track long-term wear patterns. The current recorded mileage matches the 2022 test exactly, raising the possibility of a recent rollback or, more likely, that the vehicle has remained stationary since its last inspection over three years ago. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer must inspect the vehicle thoroughly in person due to the extended period since its last test. Low-mileage vehicles that stand for long durations often suffer from deteriorated rubber components. Check the tyres for flat spots and sidewall cracking, and inspect the suspension bushes and exhaust gaskets for perishing. Brake discs frequently surface corrode when a car sits idle, leading to binding calipers and uneven braking upon return to the road. Verify the structural integrity of the underbody for corrosion, as standing vehicles can trap moisture in frame rails and suspension mounts.
