Ford Granada Scorpio I Auto (1987)
1987 Ford Granada Scorpio I Auto
CarHunch is tracking 338 1987 Ford Granada Scorpio I Auto vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 1987 Ford Granada Scorpio has a 0% first-time pass rate, which is dramatically below the UK average of 80%—every single one of the 338 vehicles tested failed its MOT on first attempt. There are no recorded dangerous defects in the dataset, which is the only positive note here.
These cars are now 37 years old, and the zero pass rate reflects the reality that this model is effectively off the road in any roadworthy condition; if you're considering one, treat it as a restoration or museum piece rather than a usable daily driver, and budget heavily for a complete mechanical overhaul before it will pass any test.
We have 338 1987 Ford Granada Scorpio I 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 1987 Ford Granada Scorpio I 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.
