1987 Ford Sierra 2.0L Petrol · D22 RAB

The vehicle presents a highly stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 31 May 2025 at 87,402 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This streak of perfect passes across the last ten years suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard and avoids the common mechanical or structural failures typically seen in cars of this era. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 39-year-old Sierra, averaging approximately 2,241 miles per year. Data shows a significant period of inactivity between the 2016 test at 86,075 miles and the 2018 test at 86,134 miles, where only 59 miles were covered over two years. More recently, usage has remained minimal, with only 966 miles recorded between 2024 and 2025. This pattern indicates the car likely spends long periods stationary, which can lead to specific issues related to rubber components and fluid degradation. Despite the clean digital record, a physical inspection must focus on the risks associated with low-mileage longevity. A buyer should specifically check for structural corrosion in the sills, floor pans, and wheel arches, as rust often affects vehicles that are not driven regularly. The low mileage also increases the likelihood of perished suspension bushes, cracked rubber hoses, and aged tyres despite having ample tread depth. Additionally, inspect the brake calipers for seized pistons or pitting, as infrequent use often causes these components to fail over time.
