FORD SIERRA SAPPHIRE1991 · 2.0L PETROL

The vehicle currently lacks a valid MOT certificate, as the last recorded test dates back nearly twenty years ago. The most recent entry from September 2006 shows the vehicle initially failed a minor failure for a non-functional nearside stop lamp before passing on the same day. Because there have been no tests since 2006, the current roadworthiness of the vehicle cannot be verified, and the maintenance trend is non-existent for the last two. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a vehicle from 1991, totaling only 11,281 miles. Between the September 2005 test at 6,910 miles and the September 2006 test at 11,281 miles, the car covered approximately 4,371 miles. This suggests the vehicle spent long periods in stationary storage rather than regular road use. Such low usage often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid-related issues despite low mechanical wear on the drivetrain. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection focusing on structural integrity, as Ford vehicles of this era are prone to significant corrosion in the sills, floor pans, and wing arches. Given the long periods of inactivity, the buyer should check for perished brake hoses, seized calipers, and rusted brake discs that suffer from lack of use. suspension bushes should be examined for cracking or tearing, as age-related materials degrade regardless of the low mileage recorded.
