About the 2018 FORD GT
The 2018 FORD GT is a performance with a 3500cc petrol engine. 43 of these vehicles were MOT tested in 2024, making it a rare model on UK roads. It ranks in the top 2% of all 2018 cars for reliability.
With an average of 4,699 miles at 6 years old, FORD GT owners tend to use this car less than the typical driver. Very low mileage could mean the car has been garaged or used only for short trips, which can cause its own issues like battery drain and moisture buildup.
2018 FORD GT Fuel Costs
The 3500cc petrol engine is on the larger side, so fuel won't be this car's strong point. Expect around 30 mpg in mixed driving, which works out to roughly £1,592 per year at current petrol prices of 142p per litre (based on 7,400 miles per year).
What does it cost to own a 2018 FORD GT?
Total estimated annual running cost is £2,037 (£170/month), broken down as £1592 fuel, £190 road tax, £55 MOT, and £200 predicted repairs. The low repair estimate reflects the excellent 100% pass rate. These cars rarely fail their MOT, so unexpected bills are less likely.
Buying a Used 2018 FORD GT
At 6 years old, the FORD GT offers good value with plenty of life remaining. Most manufacturer warranties will have expired, so a pre-purchase inspection is worth the cost. Note: with only 43 tests in our data, these figures should be treated as indicative rather than definitive.
