1989 FORD GRANADA2.9L Petrol

This 1989 Ford Granada demonstrates a clean and stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a completely fault-free pass in the February 2023 test at 147,401 miles. The maintenance trend remains exceptionally stable, mirroring the clean result recorded twelve months prior in February 2022 at the exact same mileage figure. The vehicle displays a remarkably low annual mileage accumulation of approximately 3,984 miles per year over its thirty-seven-year lifespan, though the stagnant odometer reading between February 2022 and February 2023 indicates the car spent a full year in storage or saw negligible use. With the last recorded test dating back to February 2023, the current MOT has now lapsed by over a year relative to today in July 2026, meaning the vehicle requires a fresh test before it can legally return to the road. Because the digital MOT history contains no recorded advisories or failures across the provided entries, the underlying condition of structural and mechanical components cannot be verified from paperwork alone. An in-person inspection must prioritize a rigorous check of the chassis, floorpans, and wheel arches for structural corrosion, which is common in classic Fords of this era. The physical examination should also focus heavily on perishable rubber components, suspension bushes, brake lines, and drivetrain seals that degrade during extended periods of inactivity. A thorough check of the engine bay for fluid leaks and fuel hose integrity is essential before attempting any sustained road use after such a lengthy lay-up.
