2015 Ford Mustang 2.3L Petrol · SC65 XJX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a shift toward reactive rather than preventative repairs. The latest test in November 2025 at 75,313 miles passed with an advisory for a perished or damaged nearside front tyre. This follows a period in late 2024 where a worn offside front lower suspension ball joint was identified. While the car has passed its tests, the suspension components are beginning to show age-related fatigue. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-mileage profile, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year. Between November 2022 at 46,231 miles and November 2024 at 67,727 miles, the car covered over 21,000 miles, showing steady use. The gap between the December 2023 failure at 58,401 miles and the subsequent pass just eight days later suggests the owner addressed the suspension ball joint failure immediately upon inspection to rectify the MOT-critical failure. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension geometry. The failure of the offside front lower arm ball joint in 2023 suggests that other rubber-bonded components, such as bushes and drop links, may be nearing the end of life. Check for similar cracking on the sidewalls of the tyres as noted in the 2025 advisory, as low-use vehicles often suffer from dry rot rather than tread wear. Verify the integrity of the steering rack mounts and ensure the previous ball joint failure has not caused uneven wear across the front assembly.
