Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
Given the exceptionally low usage—averaging fewer than 1,000 miles per year—the primary focus should be on the effects of inactivity. Check for perished rubber components, such as tyre sidewalls and wiper blades, which can degrade even when a car is not driven. Ensure the service history shows that oil and filters were changed at regular intervals regardless of the low mileage to protect the 4951cc engine.
Negotiations should focus on the current state of the consumables. While the MOT record is clean, the vehicle's low mileage suggests it may be due for a major service or tyre replacement based on age rather than wear. Verify that the battery has been maintained or replaced recently to avoid starting issues common with low-use performance cars.
The 4951cc petrol engine places this vehicle in a high tax bracket and results in significant fuel consumption, particularly in urban environments. Insurance groups for the 5.0L Mustang are typically high, reflecting its performance capabilities and engine size.
Typical maintenance costs for this model are generally manageable, though the cost of premium fuel and high annual road tax will be the dominant expenses. The estimated annual running cost reflects these high overheads.
Inspect the tyres carefully for 'flat spots' or age-related cracking (perishing), as the low mileage indicates they may be original or very old. Although this specific car has no recorded failures, aggregate data shows that tyres, headlamps, and windscreen washers are the most common MOT failure points for this model; these should be checked manually.
Check for any signs of fluid leaks under the engine bay and ensure the braking system is free from corrosion, which can occur when a vehicle spends long periods stationary. A test drive should confirm that the brakes are not sticking and the engine reaches operating temperature smoothly.
This black 2018 Ford Mustang 5.0L is a rare, low-mileage example with only 7,196 miles recorded as of June 2026. Its MOT history is notably clear, showing five consecutive passes from 2022 to 2026 without a single defect or advisory. Based on the registration data, it presents as a low-risk purchase compared to the wider model population.
The Mustang maintains a respectable aggregate MOT pass rate of 86.8%, with most failures relating to minor consumables and lighting.
