2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E STD Range RWD Electric · KAY 11M

The latest MOT test in November 2025 passed with no defects recorded, indicating the vehicle met all roadworthiness standards at that time. The preceding test in October 2024 also passed but included two advisories: a slightly damaged nearside front brake pipe and slight play in the nearside steering linkage ball joint. The absence of recurring or escalating defects in the most recent test suggests a stable maintenance trend, though the earlier advisories warrant closer inspection to confirm they have not deteriorated. At 22,613 miles over five years, the Mach-E has averaged roughly 4,523 miles annually, which is low for its age. This suggests the vehicle has seen light use or extended periods of inactivity. While low mileage reduces wear on consumables like tyres and brake pads, it can introduce other concerns, such as degradation from standing, fluid stagnation, or component seizing due to lack of regular operation. Prospective buyers should prioritise inspecting the previously flagged brake pipe for corrosion, chafing, or leaks, as damaged brake lines can compromise hydraulic integrity and lead to brake failure. The steering linkage ball joint should be checked for excessive play or clunking noises during low-speed manoeuvres, as wear here can affect steering precision and safety. Additionally, assess the condition of the 12V auxiliary battery, as low-mileage EVs often suffer from battery drain due to infotainment or software updates while stationary. Given the vehicle’s age and usage profile, examine the tyres for sidewall cracking or perishing, as rubber degrades over time regardless of mileage. Check brake discs and calipers for surface corrosion or binding, which can occur from prolonged inactivity, and verify the last service date to ensure time-based fluids, such as coolant and brake fluid, have been refreshed in line with the manufacturer’s schedule. A test drive should confirm smooth regenerative braking, responsive steering, and the absence of unusual noises from the suspension or drivetrain.
