1986 Ford Sierra 2.0L Petrol · D950 DDL

The Ford Sierra presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 30 December 2025 at 62,474 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recent record. The vehicle carries no recorded defects or advisories in any test from 2022 through to the latest examination, indicating the tester found no issues with brakes, suspension, emissions, or structural integrity at those points. A prior failure on 20 December 2025 at 62,452 miles is anomalous, as the DVSA entry logs no defects; this suggests an administrative or documentation refusal rather than a mechanical fault. The recorded mileage shows exceptionally light use for a 40 year old vehicle, totalling 62,474 miles or roughly 1,562 miles per year. From the 22 March 2022 test at 61,262 miles to the 17 April 2023 test at 61,473 miles the car covered just 211 miles in over a year. A similar pattern holds through 10 December 2024 at 61,486 miles and the December 2025 tests near 62,450 miles, confirming long periods of minimal running. The sparse, clean history offers little evidence of consumable wear or recurring mechanical defects across the timeline. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection focused on age related corrosion to chassis and sills, given the Sierra's 1986 build and likely prolonged static storage. The absence of advisories does not exempt the car from perished rubber suspension bushes, flat spotted tyres, or seized brake calipers that develop during standing. Verify the December 2025 failure cause with the seller, as the no defect log warrants clarification before purchase.
