1991 FORD SIERRA1.8L PETROL

The roadworthiness of this vehicle is highly questionable based on the final recorded MOT data. While the car passed its last test in May 2008 at 78,901 miles, the preceding history reveals a catastrophic failure of structural integrity. The trend shows a worsening pattern of severe corrosion across critical load-bearing points rather than stable maintenance. Given that no MOT records exist since June 2008, the vehicle's current roadworthy status is unknown and likely fails to meet modern standards without a comprehensive overhaul. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a vehicle thirty- years old, averaging approximately 2,254 miles per year. The data shows a slow progression from 70,155 miles in 2006 to 78,901 miles in 2008, representing less than 9,000 miles over two years. This low usage suggests the car may have spent long periods stationary, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components, fluid seals, and accelerated structural oxidation despite the lack of mechanical drivetrain wear. A buyer must conduct a rigorous physical inspection of the chassis and suspension mounting points. The 2008 failure flagged excessive corrosion on the seat belt anchorages, subframe mountings, and the rear vehicle structure. These are structural defects that compromise the safety of the entire vehicle. Specific attention should be paid to the offside rear brake pipe and the overall parking brake efficiency, as previous tests indicated recurring issues with the braking system. The presence of fractures and deep rust suggests the metal integrity has been significantly compromised.
