2025 Ford Explorer Select EV Electric · WM75 VCD

The vehicle has no recorded MOT history on the DVSA database, meaning no formal test has been logged since its first registration. Without any documented pass or fail results, it is impossible to establish a trend in the car’s maintenance or condition; the absence of data simply leaves the maintenance picture unknown and places the onus on the buyer to verify the car’s current state through a thorough pre‑purchase inspection. Mileage information has not been supplied, so an assessment of annual usage cannot be made. With a 2025 model year and a current date of September 2026, the vehicle is roughly one year old; if it has been driven only sparingly, components such as tyre sidewalls and rubber seals may have begun to age despite low kilometres, while a high, unrecorded mileage would suggest accelerated wear on the electric powertrain, suspension bushings and brake discs. The buyer should request a detailed log of odometer readings, service invoices or a telematics report to establish whether the vehicle has been used lightly, moderately or heavily. Given the lack of MOT data and the vehicle’s relatively young age, the buyer should focus on time‑related inspections. Examine the tyres for sidewall cracking, dry rot or uneven wear that can develop even on low‑mileage EVs, and confirm that the tyre pressure monitoring system is functional. Inspect the under‑carriage and wheel arches for any signs of corrosion or damage that could arise from prolonged storage, and check that the battery cooling system, coolant level and hoses are intact, as the thermal management fluid degrades over time irrespective of distance travelled. Verify the health of the 12 V auxiliary battery, the condition of the high‑voltage battery pack, and request a recent state‑of‑health report from the dealer or a qualified EV specialist to ensure capacity remains within acceptable limits. During a test drive, listen for any unusual noises from the suspension—such as clunking that could indicate worn bushings or deteriorated coil springs—and feel for any irregularities in regenerative braking or pedal feel that might point to brake disc corrosion or a sticking caliper. Ensure the charging port latch operates smoothly, the on‑board diagnostics display any fault codes, and that all software updates have been applied, as EVs rely heavily on firmware for power‑train management. Finally, confirm that the service book contains entries for routine checks, including coolant replacement, brake fluid change and any battery warranty inspections, to give confidence that the vehicle has been maintained in line with the manufacturer’s calendar‑based schedule.
