FORD CORTINA1965 · 1.6L Petrol

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, maintaining a consistent clean record over the last five years. The most recent MOT test conducted on 10 July 2025 at 25,001 miles passed with no defects or advisories. This trend of clean passes dates back to 2021, indicating that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids immediate mechanical failure or structural decline. The" pattern is exceptionally low for a vehicle 61 years of age, averaging approximately 410 miles per annum. Between July 2021 and July 2025, the car covered only 2,032 miles, moving from 22,969 to 25,001 miles. This low usage suggests the vehicle is used only for leisure or has been stored for long periods. While this reduces wear on the drivetrain and braking components, it often leads to the degradation of rubber-based parts and fluids. Despite the clean digital history, a physical inspection must address the risks of stationary time common in low-mileage classic cars. A buyer should focus on the condition of the suspension bushes, brake lines, and seals, which can perish irrespective of mileage. Given the age of the Cortina, a thorough check for structural corrosion in the sills and floor pans is essential, as the MOT only identifies visible defects that impact safety standards.
