2014 Explorer Mustang 1.1L Petrol · MX14 MSO

The most recent MOT test was a clean pass in June 2025, but be aware that certificate has now expired by two days as of today. The history shows an exceptionally stable condition trend, with five consecutive passes and absolutely no defects or advisories recorded since 2021. This vehicle has covered roughly 3,450 miles per year, which is very low for its age. While this suggests limited mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, such low usage can bring its own problems. Components like tyres, belts, and suspension bushes may have suffered from degradation due to the car standing for long periods rather than from active driving. Given the clean history, the risk of immediate major mechanical failure appears low, but the expired MOT means the car is not currently legal to drive on the road. You should treat the lack of a valid certificate as a priority negotiation point. Inspect the tyres closely for age-related cracks or flat spots, as they may be old despite having tread. Check the brake fluid for moisture contamination and ensure the suspension moves freely without excessive stiffness, which can occur when a vehicle is stored. Finally, insist on a fresh MOT test before handing over any money.
