2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E EXT Range RWD Electric · LG71 TOH

Covering three consecutive annual MOT tests since 2024, the Ford Mustang Mach-E Extended Range RWD has maintained a clean roadworthiness profile with no recorded failures or mechanical advisories, the most recent pass on 10 August 2026 carrying only a non-defect note about an offside rear child seat obstructing belt inspection. The intervening tests in August 2024 and August 2025 both recorded no advisories whatsoever, indicating a stable pattern rather than any emerging deterioration in the items examined under the MOT regime. While the DVSA record cannot establish the quality of routine servicing between tests, the absence of flagged defects across suspension, braking, exhaust, lighting, and structural integrity categories over three consecutive inspections is a positive indicator that no component has yet reached a pass-threshold-defective condition. Against an age of around five years, the recorded 95,363 miles equates to approximately 19,073 miles per year, which sits well above the typical average for an electric vehicle of this vintage and points to consistently high utilisation. With three MOT entries on file covering the last three years, there are no extended gaps in testing that would suggest the vehicle was off the road or unused for significant periods. For the buyer, this sustained high annual mileage means that consumable wear items such as tyres, brake components, and suspension bushes will have been subjected to heavier workload than would be expected on a lower-mileage example, even though regenerative braking on an electric drivetrain typically reduces pad and disc wear relative to an internal combustion equivalent. Specific to the advisory noted at the most recent test, the offside rear child seat restricting inspection of the adult belt is not a mechanical defect but the buyer should still verify that the rear seatbelt, its retractor mechanism, and the ISOFIX or top-tether mounting points function correctly once the child seat is removed, as these components were not directly examined. Given the mileage profile, particular attention should be paid on a test drive to the condition of the tyres, looking for uneven shoulder wear which can indicate suspension geometry misalignment, and listening for any knocking or clonking from the front and rear suspension over speed humps or uneven surfaces, which would suggest worn anti-roll bar bushes, wishbone bushes, or top mounts. Brake feel should also be assessed under both light and firm pedal pressure for any vibration through the pedal or pulling to one side under braking, which can indicate warped discs or a binding caliper, while the steering should be checked for any vagueness on centre or inconsistency in self-centring that could point to worn track rod ends or a tired power steering rack. Because no mechanical components have been flagged across the MOT history, there is no specific defect pattern to investigate further, but the high annual mileage does justify a more thorough pre-purchase inspection than might otherwise be warranted. The vehicle should be placed on a ramp for a visual check of the underbody and suspension arms for any corrosion or perished bushes that would not yet have failed an MOT test but could be approaching replacement interval, particularly given the Mach-E's known susceptibility to suspension component wear under higher mileages. A battery health diagnostic via the vehicle's own diagnostic menu or an OBD-II reader should be obtained to confirm the state of health of the high-voltage traction battery, as this is the single largest mechanical value item and is not assessed under the MOT regime. Finally, all warning systems, driver assistance features, and the functionality of the charging port should be verified during the inspection, as these electronic items are outside the scope of the MOT but critical to the operational integrity of the vehicle.
