Common Issues to Check For on a Used Ford Mustang

The Mustang's performance image and wide age range bring a few well-documented things worth checking:

• Takata Airbag Recall (2005–2014): S197 Mustangs were included in the Takata airbag inflator recall — a VIN-based recall check confirms whether the replacement was done
• MT-82 Manual Gearbox Complaints: Many owners of 2011 and later manual Mustangs have reported notchy or difficult shifting with the MT-82 six-speed — test every gear during the drive
• 10-Speed Automatic Behavior (2018+): Cars with the 10-speed automatic have documented complaints about harsh or erratic shifting — check that software updates have been applied
• Modifications & Track Use: Mustangs are among the most modified cars on the road; tunes, exhaust and suspension changes, and drag-strip use can accelerate wear — compare the car against its factory configuration
• US Imports & Title History: Many Mustangs in Europe are US imports, some with salvage or rebuilt titles — check the title history carefully

To decode each character of the number, use our free VIN decoder, and for the full history run a VIN check. Our guide to clean vs. salvage vs. rebuilt titles explains what a branded title means. For the all-electric crossover that shares the name, see the Ford Mustang Mach-E, or browse every model on our Ford VIN check page.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Mustangs are affected by the Takata airbag recall?

The recall covers 2005–2014 Mustangs (the S197 generation). Use a VIN-based recall check to confirm whether the airbag inflator replacement was completed on the specific car.

Can a VIN check reveal if a Mustang has been modified?

No — a VIN check shows the factory configuration and the vehicle's reported history, not later modifications. Compare the car against its decoded factory specification and inspect it carefully.
