UK

There is no MOT test data available for the 1995 Ford Escort LX TD in the DVLA light-vehicle database, so we cannot give you a pass rate or defect breakdown for this cohort. The 2,865 vehicles analysed are almost entirely diesel variants (2,854 of them), and at nearly 30 years old, most examples of this generation have likely been retired from the road or fall outside routine MOT testing patterns.

What you should know is that the 1995 Escort TD was a workhorse light commercial and small fleet vehicle, built for durability but now increasingly scarce on UK roads. If you are considering one, have a trusted mechanic inspect the engine bay, fuel system, and structural integrity in person — MOT history won't help you here, and parts availability for a vehicle this old is genuinely limited. Diesel Escorts of this age that survive tend to have been well-maintained, so verify service records and ownership history as your best guide to condition.

MOT statistics not available

We have 2,865 1995 Ford Escort LX Td vehicles on record, but none have light-vehicle MOT history in our data source.

There are a few reasons this can happen:

  • Heavy commercial vehicle — trucks, buses and coaches over 3.5 tonnes are tested under the DVSA annual HGV/PSV regime, which uses a separate database not included in our data source
  • Imported vehicles — vehicles registered abroad and recently brought to the UK may have no UK MOT history yet
  • MOT-exempt — vehicles manufactured before 1986 qualify under the 40-year rolling exemption; some specialist and agricultural vehicles are also exempt
  • Never used on public roads — some vehicles are registered but kept off-road and have never required an MOT
