Ford Fiesta Popular (1987)
1987 Ford Fiesta Popular
CarHunch is tracking 24,534 1987 Ford Fiesta Popular vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This data is essentially unusable—across 24,534 vehicles sampled, the first-time pass rate shows 0%, which indicates these 1987 Fiestas are almost certainly no longer in active MOT testing (they'd be 37 years old and largely off the road). With zero recorded failures, advisories, and dangerous defects, the numbers reflect cars that are either not being tested anymore or exist in such tiny numbers that meaningful reliability patterns don't emerge.
If you're considering a 1987 Fiesta Popular, treat any individual example as a one-off rather than relying on fleet data. Have a trusted mechanic inspect it thoroughly, since at this age any surviving example will depend entirely on its specific maintenance history and condition rather than what the broader cohort tells us.
We have 24,534 1987 Ford Fiesta Popular vehicles in our database, but the DVLA's digital MOT records for vehicles of this age don't include reliable pass/fail outcomes — detailed test statistics aren't available for this vintage.
What to check before buying a 1987 Ford Fiesta Popular
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
