Ford Granada L Auto (1982)
1982 Ford Granada L Auto
CarHunch is tracking 2,032 1982 Ford Granada L 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 L Auto has a 0% first-time pass rate, which is profoundly worse than the UK average of 80%—every single vehicle in this cohort of 2,032 failed its MOT. With zero recorded failures, advisories, or dangerous defects across the dataset, the numbers suggest these cars are simply too old to be regularly tested; most 1982 vehicles are now 40+ years old and largely off the road or in static collections rather than in active use.
The median CarHunch score of 50 reflects this reality: these are vintage machines that haven't been systematically MOT'd in meaningful numbers for years. If you're considering one of these Granadas, treat it as a classic car project rather than a daily driver—have a pre-purchase inspection by a specialist in 1980s Fords to assess its actual roadworthiness, as MOT data alone won't tell you what condition it's really in.
We have 2,032 1982 Ford Granada L 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 L 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.
