The real detail is in the individual vehicle report — MOT history, AI Hunches, mileage timeline, and defect patterns for that specific reg.
This 1986 Ford Granada Ghia I 4×4 sits outside the standard MOT database used here—it's a classic vehicle now over 35 years old, and most examples have likely been taken off the road, preserved as classics, or converted to historic registration status. No MOT test data exists for this cohort, so we can't assess its reliability against modern vehicles using pass rates or defect statistics. What we do know is that the Granada was a solid, durable family saloon of its era, and the 4×4 version was relatively rare; any survivor today is likely either cherished by an enthusiast or a well-maintained workhorse. If you're considering buying one, focus on a full pre-purchase inspection by a specialist in 1980s Fords—availability of parts and knowing the service history matter far more than national MOT trends for vehicles this old.
We have 525 1986 Ford Granada Ghia I 4x4 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
