1995 FORD ESCORT1.6L PETROL

The 1995 Ford Escort has a limited and inconsistent MOT history, with the most recent recorded test on 2010-10-14. At 31 years old, the vehicle has only 6,555 miles on the odometer, which is exceptionally low for its age. This suggests the car may have been stored for extended periods or used infrequently, increasing the risk of corrosion, dry rot, and component degradation due to inactivity. The MOT records reveal recurring issues with brake components, suspension, and tyre wear. In 2010, the same offside rear tyre was noted as worn close to the legal limit on two separate occasions, indicating a lack of resolution. Brake pipes showed corrosion and fouling, while the nearside outer front constant velocity joint gaiter was split. These issues point to potential neglect in maintaining critical safety systems. The 2009 failures included corroded brake pipes and a suspension arm with excessive play, suggesting ongoing mechanical deterioration. However, the 2008 MOT showed no defects, and the 2009-2010 tests alternated between passes and failures, making it difficult to assess a clear trend. The absence of MOT data after 2010 means there is no evidence of improvements or new issues in the past 16 years.
