1990 Ford Escort 1.6L Petrol · G28 DAR

This vehicle maintains a stable and exemplary roadworthiness record. The most recent MOT test on 28 June 2025 at 75,589 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This clean bill of health follows a consistent trend of five consecutive passes without a single advisory or failure, suggesting a high standard of preventative maintenance. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 36 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 2,100 miles per year. Between 16 November 2020 at 75,274 miles and 28 June 2025 at 75,589 miles, the car covered only 315 miles over nearly five years. Such minimal usage indicates the vehicle has spent significant periods standing, which often presents different risks than high-mileage wear. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the chassis and bodywork for corrosion, as the MOT record does not flag structural rust but older Fords are prone to it. Long periods of inactivity can cause brake calipers to seize or brake discs to pit. Check for perished rubber components, specifically suspension bushes and tyre sidewall cracking, as these degrade with age regardless of mileage. Verify the condition of all fluids and seals to ensure no leaks have developed during the car's dormant periods. While the DVSA records are spotless, the lack of use suggests the engine and drivetrain may require a thorough check for lubrication issues or fuel system degradation.
