1990 FORD ESCORT1.6L Petrol

The overall roadworthiness status of this Ford Escort is exceptionally strong, backed by a clean maintenance trend that shows zero recorded defects during the most recent test on February 9, 2026, at an unspecified mileage. This flawless run extends across the entire available dataset, demonstrating consistent preventative care and mechanical health without any recurring faults or worsening advisory items. The vehicle has accumulated 92,879 miles over its thirty-six-year lifespan, averaging roughly 2,580 miles per year, which indicates exceptionally light, collector-style usage rather than daily commuting. The MOT test cadence reflects regular annual presentations from October 2021 through February 2026, confirming that previous keepers kept the car taxed and tested even during periods of minimal road use. A physical inspection must prioritize the structural integrity of the chassis and sills, as thirty-six-year-old Escorts are highly susceptible to corrosion regardless of recent clean MOT passes. The suspension bushes, brake lines, and fuel system warrant a thorough ramp examination to check for perishing rubber or fuel weeping caused by intermittent storage between test dates.
