Overview

The Ford Mustang is an American automobile manufactured and marketed by Ford since 1964. Currently in its seventh generation, it is the fifth-best selling Ford car nameplate. The namesake of the 'pony car' segment, the Mustang was developed as a highly styled line of sporty coupes and convertibles derived from existing model lines, initially distinguished by its pronounced 'long hood, short deck' proportions.

UK popularity & demand

Based on DfT VEH0124 vehicle-parc data (2025), there are approximately 10,470 Ford Mustang on UK roads, placing it in the top 14% of car models by volume across our fitment database.

A parc that size is why Ford Mustang wheel fitment is worth getting exactly right: a lot of owners are shopping for these numbers.
