2025 Ford Explorer Select EV Electric · WM75 SVR

As this is a 2025 model vehicle being evaluated in September 2026, there is no MOT history available because new vehicles in the UK are not required to undergo their first MOT test until they reach three years of age. Consequently, it is impossible to evaluate a maintenance trend or identify historical failure points through official DVSA records. The absence of data is a standard characteristic of a relatively new vehicle and should not be interpreted as a lack of care, but the buyer must instead prioritize a thorough review of the manufacturer's service book and any digital service records to confirm that all scheduled maintenance and software updates have been performed according to the Ford service schedule. Regarding the mileage, the lack of recorded data prevents a meaningful assessment of the vehicle's annual usage rate or any potential for mileage discrepancies. Without a historical mileage trail, it is impossible to determine if the vehicle has been subjected to high-intensity motorway driving or short, low-speed urban trips, both of which have different implications for component wear. It is essential to cross-reference the current odometer reading with any available service invoices or warranty documentation to ensure the mileage is consistent and to identify if the vehicle has been stationary for long periods, which can lead to specific mechanical issues. Since there are no recorded defects or advisories to guide the inspection, the buyer should focus on physical checks appropriate for a vehicle of this age and type. For an electric vehicle, pay close attention to the condition of the tyres, looking for signs of perishing or sidewall cracking if the vehicle has been stored outdoors, as well as uneven tread wear which could indicate alignment issues. Inspect the braking system for signs of binding calipers or excessive corrosion on the brake discs, which often occurs if the vehicle has been used infrequently. Additionally, check the health of the 12V auxiliary battery, as these can lose charge if the vehicle sits idle for extended periods, potentially causing electrical faults or preventing the vehicle from starting. Finally, conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension components, including the bushes and coil springs, to ensure there are no premature signs of wear or damage. On a test drive, listen for any unusual clunks or knocks from the underside that might suggest suspension movement or bushing degradation. Verify the integrity of the cooling systems used for the high-voltage battery thermal management, ensuring there are no visible leaks or signs of fluid degradation. A comprehensive check of the vehicle's exterior and interior for any signs of previous damage or improper repairs is also highly recommended to ensure the structural integrity and overall condition meet the expected standards for a modern electric vehicle.
