2018 Ford Mustang 5.0L Petrol · SO05 TEN

The 2018 Ford Mustang presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 11 June 2025 at 30,531 miles, some thirteen months before today's date, returning a pass with no defects recorded. Every annual examination from October 2021 through June 2025 resulted in a pass with zero advisories. The consistency confirms the vehicle has not developed worsening mechanical or structural conditions across its life. Mileage accumulation reflects light use for an eight-year-old coupé. The record shows 9,051 miles at the 13 October 2021 test, rising to 11,935 miles by 5 October 2022, then a measured increase to 13,312 miles on 14 June 2023. Annual increments stayed modest: 22,845 miles by 10 June 2024 and 30,531 miles by 11 June 2025. The average of roughly 3,800 miles per year suggests extended storage periods. No rapid accumulation appears, though the 2022 to 2023 gap shifted from autumn to summer, a minor scheduling change rather than a mileage irregularity. With no advisories logged, the buyer faces no flagged suspension bushes, coil springs, binding calipers, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions concerns. Low mileage coupled with standing time can nevertheless conceal perished rubber components and surface rust on structural members. A physical inspection should scrutinise tyre sidewalls for cracking, brake discs for pitting after inactivity, and underbody seams for early corrosion. The tester recorded no faults, yet verifying fluid conditions and suspension articulation remains prudent given the light service history. The absence of even minor consumable wear items such as wiper blades or tyre tread limits implies previous owners prepared the car meticulously before each test. Failing to flag any defect across five examinations suggests genuine low wear rather than neglected upkeep. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection to confirm drivetrain seals and exhaust integrity before purchase.
