Ford Granada Gl Auto (1982)
1982 Ford Granada Gl Auto
CarHunch is tracking 6,488 1982 Ford Granada Gl Auto vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 1982 Ford Granada has a 0% first-time pass rate across 6,488 vehicles analysed, placing it far below the UK average of 80%—though this almost certainly reflects that virtually all remaining examples are now too old or deteriorated to pass modern MOT standards rather than an indictment of the model itself. None of the petrol-engined vehicles in this cohort achieved a pass, and no dangerous defects were recorded, suggesting these cars are largely off the road or kept as non-road-legal classics.
With a median CarHunch score of 50 and no usable mileage or failure data in the dataset, any surviving 1982 Granada is a restoration or curiosity project rather than practical transport. If you're considering one, treat it as a classic car restoration buy rather than an everyday vehicle—MOT compliance should be your absolute first technical checkpoint before any purchase commitment.
We have 6,488 1982 Ford Granada Gl Auto 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 1982 Ford Granada Gl Auto
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.
