The Mach-E scored the full five stars when it was tested for safety by Euro NCAP and it did a very good job of protecting adults in a frontal collision. It has plenty of driver aids, including automatic emergency braking (AEB), lane-keeping assistance and blind-spot monitoring.

Is a used Ford Mustang Mach-E reliable?

Unfortunately, there were too few examples of the Mach-E to feature in our 2025 What Car? Reliability Survey, but it did appear in the 2023 one.

In that, it did extremely well. According to our readers, the Mach-E is incredibly reliable. In fact, we didn't hear from a single person whose Mach-E experienced issues. As such, it ranked first out of nine cars in the electric SUV class that year.

As a brand, Ford came 24th out of 30 manufacturers featured with a reasonable overall score of 90.5%.
