FORD ESCORT1995 · 1.3L PETROL

The most recent MOT for this 1995 Ford Escort was recorded in 2008, over 18 years ago. Since then, there are no further MOT entries in the provided history, leaving the current condition of the vehicle unverified. This lack of recent data is a significant concern, as it means critical safety and mechanical systems may not have been assessed for over a decade. The MOT history shows a pattern of minor and moderate issues, primarily related to tyres, braking systems, and emissions. In 2007, both front tyres were worn close to the legal limit, and in 2008, the rear shock absorber had a serious fluid leak, while brake hoses were excessively deteriorated. Emissions-related failures in 2007 included excessive carbon monoxide levels and incorrect indicator lights. These issues suggest potential wear on brakes, tyres, and exhaust systems, but no recurring major defects are documented beyond 2008. The vehicle’s mileage of 85,123 miles for a 31-year-old car is unusually low, averaging 2,746 miles per year. This could indicate light use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which may lead to component degradation from lack of use rather than wear. However, without recent MOTs or maintenance records, it is unclear whether the car has been properly stored or driven regularly.
