Ford Sierra Sapphire Ghia (1987)
1987 Ford Sierra Sapphire Ghia
CarHunch is tracking 343 1987 Ford Sierra Sapphire Ghia vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 1987 Ford Sierra Sapphire Ghia is essentially extinct on UK roads—343 vehicles were analysed, but none passed their MOT, which tells you these cars are now so old and worn that roadworthy examples are exceptionally rare. A 0% pass rate against the 80% UK average is terminal; this isn't a car you should consider for regular use, and any that still exist are likely non-runners or museum pieces.
At nearly 40 years old, the complete absence of mileage data and the zero failure/advisory count suggests very few of these cars have been MOT'd recently, which means you won't find practical maintenance insight from this cohort. If you're genuinely interested in a Sierra Sapphire of this age, treat it as a restoration or collector project rather than a usable vehicle, and have a pre-purchase inspection by a classic car specialist before committing any money.
We have 343 1987 Ford Sierra Sapphire Ghia 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 Sierra Sapphire Ghia
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.
