1992 Ford Granada 2.9L Petrol · J42 MLP

The 1992 Ford Granada presents a stable roadworthiness status. The most recent test on 12 January 2023 at 128,340 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, matching the prior clean pass on 18 January 2022 at 128,027 miles. The maintenance trend shows no deterioration across the two available entries, with the vehicle clearing both tests without advisories. Recorded mileage sits at 128,340 against an age of roughly 34 years, equating to about 3,775 miles per year. The Granada covered only 313 miles between the 2022 and 2023 tests, confirming very light annual use. Such low accumulation over three decades suggests extended standing periods rather than regular daily driving, though the sparse two-entry history limits deeper trend analysis. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion, as the MOT record omits any advisory on underbody or suspension bushes despite the vehicle's age. Long idle spells accelerate rust on chassis members and brake calipers even when test results stay clean. Check the exhaust system, coil springs, and brake discs for age-related degradation not captured by the pass results. Verify the odometer reading against service stamps, given the minimal mileage gain, to confirm the low-use pattern is genuine rather than a recording anomaly.
