1990 Ford Sierra 2.0L Petrol · SL 6898

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having maintained a clean pass record over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted on 25 September 2025 at 40,201 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This streak of clean passes suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard and does not currently exhibit mechanical or structural failures that would fail MOT testing criteria. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 36-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,117 miles per year. Between August 2021 at 40,122 miles and September 2023 at 40,150 miles, the car covered only 28 miles. This indicates extremely infrequent use or long periods of stationary storage. While low mileage reduces wear on drivetrain and engine components, it introduces risks related to rubber components and fluid degradation that occur through age and oxidation rather than friction. A buyer must focus the physical inspection on structural integrity, as long-standing vehicles of this era are prone to corrosion regardless of mileage. Check specifically for surface and structural rust in the sills, floor pans, and suspension mounting points where moisture often traps. Because the car has sat for extended periods, inspect the brake system for perished or seized calipers and examine the suspension bushes for cracking or rot. The tyres should also be checked for flat spotting or age cracking, which are common in low-mileage vehicles that rarely move.
