2017 Ford Mustang 5.0L Petrol · M2 UAA

The vehicle is presently roadworthy, having passed the MOT on 13 April 2026 at 28,164 miles after a preceding failure on the same day for an inoperative engine MIL (8.2.1.2 (h)). The earlier failure was remedied and the re‑test recorded a pass, indicating that the defect was addressed promptly. A similar pattern occurred in 2025 when a near‑side rear wheel bearing excess play (5.1.3 (a) (i)) was recorded on 15 April 2025 and corrected before the 16 April 2025 pass. No recurring defects appear; the maintenance trend therefore reads as stable rather than deteriorating. Mileage has risen from 23,340 miles in April 2024 to 28,164 miles in April 2026, an increase of roughly 4,800 miles over two years, or about 2,400 miles per annum. For a nine‑year‑old 2017 Ford Mustang this equates to an average of just over 3,100 miles per year, well below typical usage levels and suggesting light duty or periods of inactivity. The record shows consistent annual testing with no unexplained gaps, reinforcing the impression of a vehicle that has not been subjected to high mileage stress. A prospective buyer should verify that the engine management system remains fault‑free by checking for any lingering MIL illumination and scanning for stored codes. Inspect the near‑side rear wheel bearing for noise or play, as this component previously required attention. Examine suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of wear or corrosion, and assess brake discs and pads for even thickness and any surface scoring. A visual inspection for structural rust, especially around wheel arches and underbody, will confirm that no hidden deterioration has emerged since the last pass.
