Ford Granada Gl Auto (1986)
1986 Ford Granada Gl Auto
CarHunch is tracking 1,212 1986 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 1986 Ford Granada GL Auto has a 0% first-time pass rate across 1,212 vehicles tested—far below the UK average of 80%—meaning every single car in this cohort failed its MOT. With no dangerous defects recorded and zero failures or advisories logged per vehicle on average, the data suggests these cars are so old they may no longer be actively tested or registered, making these statistics unreliable for real-world buying decisions.
These figures don't reflect the Granada's actual condition; instead, they indicate the dataset captures vehicles at end-of-life or no longer in regular use. If you're genuinely considering a 1986 Granada, ignore this MOT snapshot and instead have a pre-purchase inspection by a specialist familiar with 1980s Ford models, as any surviving example will need detailed evaluation for rust, fuel system integrity, and electrical systems.
We have 1,212 1986 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 1986 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.
