1982 Ford Granada 2.8L Petrol · AFV 550Y

The 1982 Ford Granada passed its most recent MOT on 25 May 2022 at 74,165 miles with no defects recorded, indicating a stable maintenance trend at the time of that test. The single clean pass gives no evidence of worsening faults or recurring mechanical issues across the available history. The odometer shows 74,165 miles against roughly 44 years of age, an average of about 1,686 miles per year. This is low for a vehicle of this period and suggests either light seasonal use or extended periods in storage. The record contains just one entry, so no rapid accumulation or notable gaps between tests can be measured beyond the four-year void since the last examination. A buyer should treat the 2022 pass as a snapshot rather than current proof of condition. Standing time typical of low mileage often allows corrosion to develop on structural members, sills, and suspension mounting points unseen by a four-year-old test. Rubber components such as suspension bushes, brake hoses, and tyres may have degraded through age rather than wear. Given the Granada has not faced an MOT since May 2022, a physical inspection must check brake disc condition, caliper freedom, exhaust integrity, and underbody rust before any road use. The clean advisory list from that test offers no prior warnings to track, so all original-age systems carry unknown risk today.
