2018 Ford Mustang 5.0L Petrol · GT09 BEE

The vehicle presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 17 June 2026 at 34,080 miles resulted in a clean pass with no recorded defects, indicating that any prior concerns have been addressed. However, the previous test on 29 July 2025 revealed several mechanical and safety-related issues, including corroded brake pipes across all four corners and uneven tyre wear. The absence of these faults in the latest test suggests effective remedial work, though the underlying causes warrant further scrutiny. At eight years old with 34,080 miles recorded, the car averages approximately 4,260 miles annually, which is notably low for its age. The MOT history shows minimal mileage accumulation between tests, with only 3,461 miles added between January 2023 and July 2025. This low usage pattern may contribute to the corrosion noted on brake components, as infrequent driving can accelerate deterioration in exposed metal parts. The lack of significant mileage spikes or gaps suggests consistent, albeit light, use rather than prolonged storage. The recurring tyre wear on the front offside and inner edges across multiple tests points to potential alignment or suspension geometry issues. The nearside front inner wheel arch liner proximity to the tyre under full lock also raises concerns about clearance or steering component wear. While the brake pipe corrosion was rectified before the latest test, a thorough inspection of the entire braking system, including calipers and discs, is advisable. The harsh auto box drive selection noted in 2025 should be evaluated for transmission fluid condition and internal wear, particularly if the vehicle has seen limited use. Given the low mileage, attention to rubber seals, suspension bushes, and exhaust hangers for signs of aging or brittleness would also be prudent during a physical inspection.
