2018 Ford Mustang 5.0L Petrol · HV18 HFP

The 2018 Ford Mustang presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile, with the most recent test on 26 September 2025 at 24,428 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Across four consecutive annual examinations from 2022 to 2025, the vehicle cleared every test without a single advisory or failure. The maintenance trend shows no worsening faults and no recurring mechanical concerns across the recorded period. The mileage pattern reflects exceptionally light use for an eight-year-old vehicle. The tester logged 12,653 miles on 27 September 2022, rising to 16,094 miles by 27 September 2023, then 17,719 miles on 4 September 2024, and finally 24,428 miles in September 2025. That equates to an average of roughly 3,050 miles per year. The largest single-year jump was the 6,709 miles added between September 2024 and September 2025, yet the overall accumulation remains low and the record contains no gaps or missed test windows. Given the absence of any flagged items such as worn suspension bushes, corroded structural members, or binding brake calipers, the DVSA data implies the previous keeper maintained the car to a standard that avoided even minor consumable advisories. A clean sheet across four tests at low annual mileage suggests careful storage and infrequent hard use rather than neglected standing. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of age-related items the MOT will not capture. Check the condition of brake discs and calipers for corrosion after long static periods, inspect coil springs and subframe mounts for fatigue, and verify tyre sidewalls for cracking from low-mileage storage. Confirm the exhaust emissions and underbody structural integrity visually, as a spotless test history does not exempt an eight-year-old car from hidden perishables.
