Which years to avoid
- 2017 (2015–2017 (tuned EcoBoost)): Head gasket risk multiplies with a tune. Stock cars are fine; modified ones need proof.
- 2016 (2015–2017 (tuned EcoBoost)): Head gasket risk multiplies with a tune. Stock cars are fine; modified ones need proof.
- 2015 (2015–2017 (tuned EcoBoost)): Head gasket risk multiplies with a tune. Stock cars are fine; modified ones need proof.
- 2014 (2011–2014 (manual)): MT82 gearbox complaints — notchy, crunchy cold shifts. Autos of the same years are fine.
- 2013 (2011–2014 (manual)): MT82 gearbox complaints — notchy, crunchy cold shifts. Autos of the same years are fine.
- 2012 (2011–2014 (manual)): MT82 gearbox complaints — notchy, crunchy cold shifts. Autos of the same years are fine.
- 2011 (2011–2014 (manual)): MT82 gearbox complaints — notchy, crunchy cold shifts. Autos of the same years are fine.
What to check before you pay
- Accident and abuse history — Mustangs lead crash statistics; inspect paint depth, panel gaps, and frame rails
- 2011–2014 MT82 manual: notchy 1-2 shifts and crunches when cold — test thoroughly
- 2015–2017 2.3 EcoBoost: head gasket failures on early cars, worsened by tunes — ask about coolant loss and tuning history
