2018 Ford Mustang 5.0L Petrol · R3 EFE

The 2018 Ford Mustang's roadworthiness status is currently stable, but with some concerns. The most recent MOT test on 2025-12-18 at 58,728 miles showed a passed result, but with a noted defect on the offside front lower suspension component ball joint dust cover being severely deteriorated. This follows a failed test two days earlier on 2025-12-16 at the same mileage, which identified tyre and suspension issues. The mileage pattern for this vehicle appears typical for its age, with approximately 7,341 miles accumulated per year over its eight-year lifespan. The recorded mileage has been steady, with no notable gaps or rapid accumulation periods. Between 2023-11-30 and 2024-12-17, the vehicle covered around 7,731 miles over 12 months, and between 2024-12-17 and 2025-12-18, it added about 6,260 miles over a similar period. A buyer should inspect the vehicle's suspension components, particularly the ball joint dust covers, for any signs of deterioration or damage. The recurring issues with the tyres, including exposed ply or cords, suggest that tread wear may be uneven or excessive. Furthermore, the rear brake disc was significantly worn in the December 2024 test, indicating potential brake system maintenance needs. In person, it would be prudent to examine the vehicle's brake discs, pads, and calipers for signs of wear or binding, as well as inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, and other structural components for any signs of corrosion, damage, or excessive wear. Additionally, checking the tyre condition, tread depth, and looking for any signs of uneven wear would provide valuable insight into the vehicle's maintenance history and potential future needs.
