2016 Ford Mustang 5.0L Petrol · GO16 DON

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing an improving maintenance trend following a specific mechanical failure. The most recent test conducted on 10 May 2024 at 51,324 miles passed with no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been rectified and the vehicle has maintained a high standard of presentation over the last three years. The' pattern is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,100 miles per year. Between January 2022 and May 2024, the car covered only 2,251 miles, suggesting periods of infrequent use or long-term storage. While this low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, the significant gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based components or flat spotting on tyres, though the clean record does not flag any evidence of such issues. A buyer should pay particular attention to the failure on 18 January 2021 at 46,732 miles, where a fractured nearside rear brake disc prevented a pass. While subsequent tests show the braking system is now compliant, a physical inspection should verify the condition of the brake calipers and discs for any signs of uneven wear or corrosion. Given the low annual mileage, the inspector should also check the suspension bushes for cracking or perishing, as these components can age significantly when vehicles sit stationary for extended periods irrespective of the distance driven.
