UK

The 1984 Ford Granada GL does not appear in the DVLA's light-vehicle MOT database, so we have no test statistics to assess its current reliability. This cohort likely comprises vehicles that are either no longer in regular use, have been registered as historic/classic vehicles exempt from MOT, or exist in very small numbers on the road today—making any meaningful pass rate comparison impossible.

What we do know is that the average mileage recorded is 31,833 miles, which suggests these are either preserved examples or have genuinely low usage. The Granada was a respected family saloon and fleet workhorse of the 1970s and early 1980s, but by 1984 the model was approaching the end of its production life and most survivors today are either cherished classics or long-term storage vehicles. If you're considering one, treat it as a classic-car purchase rather than a practical daily driver—have it inspected by a specialist familiar with 1980s Ford engineering, particularly the cooling system and fuel components which are common weak points on this generation.

MOT statistics not available

We have 1,413 1984 Ford Granada Gl 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
