FORD ESCORT1995 · 1.6L PETROL

The 1995 Ford Escort has a recorded mileage of 10,104 miles, making it approximately 31 years old. This equates to an average of 326 miles per year, which is exceptionally low for its age. Such low mileage may indicate light use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can lead to issues like corrosion, rubber component degradation, and fluid stagnation. However, the lack of recent MOT records (the latest entry is from 2008) means there is no evidence of how the vehicle’s condition has evolved in the past 18 years. The most recent MOT history shows a mix of passed and failed results. The 2008 MOT (10,104 miles) included multiple defects , such as wear on the front brake pads , corrosion on chassis components , and excessive play in the nearside front suspension arm . A prior 2008 failure highlighted excessive brake pipe corrosion , service brake inefficiency , and exhaust emissions issues . Earlier entries from 2005 and 2006 show some defects , including a major exhaust leak and tyre tread below legal limits , but also periods with no recorded issues. The recurring defects point to corrosion and brake system wear as key concerns. The nearside chassis and floor panels showed corrosion , while brake pipes and pads exhibited wear .
