FORD SIERRA1987 · 2.0L PETROL

The most recent MOT on 2025-06-23 confirmed the 1987 Ford Sierra passed with 31,769 miles. No defects were recorded, and this aligns with the previous three MOTs from 2024 and 2023, all of which also passed without issues. The vehicle has shown consistent compliance with safety standards in its most recent history. A single failure in 2019-07-09 highlighted specific issues: non-functional rear lamps, a faulty windscreen washer, and significant corrosion in the offside front suspension mounting. These defects were addressed, as evidenced by the subsequent MOTs showing no further problems. The 2019 failure appears to be an isolated incident rather than part of an ongoing trend. The vehicle’s mileage of 31,769 miles over 39 years equates to roughly 815 miles annually, which is unusually low. This suggests either light usage or extended periods of inactivity. Low mileage can reduce wear on components like brakes and suspension but may increase risks of corrosion, fluid degradation, or electrical faults due to infrequent operation. The 2019 suspension corrosion aligns with this risk, though no such issues have recurred in later inspections.
