Our Verdict
This is a highly recommended example for
Given the extremely low mileage of 20,498 miles, your primary focus should be on ensuring that mechanical components that typically degrade with age rather than use are in order. Check for signs of rubber perish in hoses and seals, and ensure that fluids (oil, coolant, brake fluid) have been changed regularly despite the low distance travelled.
When negotiating, ask for evidence of any service history that supports the low mileage. While the MOT history is clean, it does not confirm regular maintenance. For a high-capacity 4600cc engine, ensuring the cooling system and fuel system have been attended to is vital to prevent issues caused by long periods of inactivity.
Expect running costs to be significantly higher than the average UK vehicle due to the 4.6L engine capacity and high fuel consumption. This model will sit in a high insurance group and will be subject to higher fuel costs, particularly in city driving.
Maintenance costs for a Mustang can be higher due to the niche nature of the parts compared to standard Ford models. While the MOT history shows no recent failures, you should budget for premium parts and specialist labour if repairs are needed. The estimated annual running cost is relatively high due to the combination of fuel, tax, and insurance.
The most recent MOT record from 2022 noted that the parking brake efficiency only just met the required standard. Although it passed subsequent tests, you should personally test the handbrake's engagement and tension to ensure it is fully operational and not slipping.
Beyond the braking system, inspect the tyres for age-related cracking or flat spots, as low-mileage cars often sit for long periods. Given the model aggregate data suggests tyre and headlamp issues are common failure points for this vehicle type, check the clarity of the headlight lenses and the tread depth/condition of all tyres.
This 2006 Ford Mustang features a large 4.6L petrol engine and has covered just 20,498 miles in its 20-year lifespan. The MOT history shows a consistent pass record, with the most recent three tests showing no defects recorded. While a parking brake efficiency issue was noted in 2022, the vehicle has since cleared all inspections without further issues.
Based on an analysis of 14,137 vehicles, this model has an 86.7% average MOT pass rate, with common failures relating to tyres, headlamps, and washer systems.
