1987 Ford Sierra 2.0L Petrol · D252 OWO

The 1987 Ford Sierra presents a stable roadworthiness trend based on its most recent test. The July 2022 MOT at 96,575 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a clean pass in June 2021 at 95,139 miles. No advisories or failures appear across the two available entries, indicating the vehicle held a sound test status in the period documented. The mileage pattern shows very low use for a 39-year-old vehicle. Between June 2021 and July 2022 the odometer advanced just 1,436 miles, averaging roughly 2,476 miles per year across its life. Only two MOT entries exist in the supplied record, so the history is sparse; the clean results give no evidence of neglected consumables or skipped basic upkeep, though long standing periods common at this mileage can hide perished rubber and trapped corrosion. A buyer should still inspect the Sierra in person for age-related structural rust, particularly to sills, suspension mounting points, and subframes not always visible during a pass. The tester logged no brake or suspension faults, yet 35-year-old bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers may bind or crack from disuse. Check tyre sidewalls for crazing and verify the exhaust emissions remain within limits on a cold start. Given the clean record and minimal annual mileage, previous owners likely stored the car rather than ran it hard. The absence of advisories does not exempt the buyer from a physical inspection of corrosion and perished components before relying on the vehicle.
