Best Year to Buy?

Of the years with at least 100 tests, the 2020 model has the highest MOT pass rate at 92%, while the 2000 model has the lowest at 76%. The 2022 scores 96%, but cars from 2022 weren't due their first routine MOT until 2025, so its figure isn't compared here. Newer cars usually pass more often simply because they are younger, so compare years of a similar age.

About the 2022 Ford Mustang

The 2022 Ford Mustang is a city car. Our records list this model year as electric, but most of the model's other years are petrol or diesel, so the fuel type and running costs here may be wrong. 54 MOT tests were recorded on this model in 2024, making it a rare model on UK roads. Among all models from 2022, the average MOT pass rate is 94%, and this model beats that benchmark.

With an average of 13,235 miles recorded at its 2024 MOT tests, Ford Mustang owners drive about as much as the UK average.

What does it cost to own a 2022 Ford Mustang?

Total estimated annual running cost is £1,010 (£84/month), broken down as £555 electricity, £200 road tax, £55 MOT, and £200 predicted repairs. The low repair estimate reflects the excellent 96% pass rate. These cars rarely fail their MOT, so unexpected bills are less likely.

Ford Mustang Reliability Trend

Newer Ford Mustangs pass their MOT more often than older ones, by 4 percentage points on average, which is mostly down to age and wear.

Buying a Used 2022 Ford Mustang

At 4 years old, the Ford Mustang offers good value with plenty of life remaining. Most manufacturer warranties will have expired, so a pre-purchase inspection is worth the cost. If you're flexible on year, the 2020 model has the highest pass rate at 92%. Note: with only 54 tests in our data, these figures should be treated as indicative rather than definitive.

Common Issues to Watch For

Low risk

Always request a full service history. Regular servicing is the single best indicator of how well a car has been maintained, regardless of mileage.
