1986 Ford Escort 1.6L Petrol · C801 KVX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, as the most recent MOT test on 2025-07-22 at 67,313 miles passed without defects. The history is clean, showing no recurring faults or structural issues; the braking system was only flagged in 2023-04-19 as needing adjustment rather than repair, and the exhaust carbon monoxide value remained within acceptable limits. The mileage profile reflects a significant gap between the vehicle's age and its recorded statistics, with only 1,683 miles accumulated in approximately 40 years. This pattern suggests the car has been used relatively lightly for a long duration, which could indicate that the drivetrain components and suspension have been maintained effectively over time, rather than accumulating wear from heavy use. Given the lack of recurring faults and the fact that the most recent test was performed well over a year ago, the vehicle appears to be in good condition for its age. However, the 2023-04-19 failure to meet the parking brake efficiency threshold warrants a specific inspection of the brake disc and caliper assembly, as this could indicate a potential issue that may have been overlooked during the initial assessment.
