2014 Ford Mustang 3.7L Petrol · WH63 WMX

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a persistent, unresolved mechanical issue regarding the rear axle. The most recent test in December 2023 at 130,595 miles recorded a pass despite a slight oil leak from the rear axle and an advisory for a damaged or perished offside front tyre. While the vehicle passed, the recurrence of the oil leak since 2021 indicates that a differential seal or sump pan issue is being monitored rather than fully rectified. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per year. There is a notable gap in recorded data between January 2022 and December 2022, during which the car covered over 13,000 miles. Since the final recorded MOT in December 2023, the vehicle has gone eighteen months without a recorded test, given the current date of June 2026. This steady usage pattern suggests the car is driven regularly, which typically places predictable wear on rubber components, suspension bushings, and the braking-cooling system. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the rear differential area to determine if the oil leak is a minor seep or an active leak that could lead to component failure. The 2021 failure revealed multiple lighting and trim defects, including missing indicators and faulty headlamps, which suggests a history of reactive maintenance rather than proactive upkeep. Given the age of the vehicle and the previous advisory on a perishing tyre, the entire set of rubber should be checked for sidewall cracking and age-related degradation regardless of tread depth. Additionally, the headlamp alignment should be verified to ensure the previous failure was properly corrected.
