Based on 212 MOT tests from 17 vehicles analysed by VehicleScore. The figures below describe that VehicleScore sample. Recurring issues seen in VehicleScore MOT data are not a claim that every FORD GRANADA has the same fault.
FORD GRANADA's have a very good reliability rating of 743/999. The score was calculated from the average of every FORD GRANADA that has had a registered MOT.
We calculated all of the below figures by getting the score from each vehicle make/model/year/fuel, which are each calculated a score. We then generate the average score, taking into account factors such as mileage and emissions.
Also check BHP & performance, and road tax for the FORD GRANADA.

Recurring issues seen in VehicleScore MOT data are inspection findings from this sample. They are not a statement that every FORD GRANADA has the same fault. The median VehicleScore in this sample is 572 out of 999.
These groups combine equivalent MOT comments, such as the same tyre note on different corners. Counts are comment occurrences in the sample, not a percentage of cars.
VehicleScore MOT data includes 16 advisory comments in this group. Seen mainly as an advisory. These are comment occurrences, not a share of all cars.
These MOT comments record tyres that were worn, damaged, or close to the legal tread depth when the car was inspected.
What to inspect
Check the tread depth and look for uneven wear, cracking, or damage on all four tyres.
Example MOT wording: NEARSIDE REAR TYRE WORN CLOSE TO THE LEGAL LIMIT (4.1.E.1)
VehicleScore MOT data includes 10 advisory comments and 2 failure comments in this group. Seen as both an advisory and a failure reason. These are comment occurrences, not a share of all cars.
These MOT comments record corrosion the tester could see on the body or structure. Corrosion already named on a spring, brake, or other component is counted with that component.
What to inspect
Inspect the underside, sills, and subframe for heavy corrosion, especially where an advisory mentions it.
Example MOT wording: NEARSIDE REAR BODY HAS SLIGHT CORROSION (6.1.B.2)
VehicleScore MOT data includes 8 failure comments in this group. Seen mainly as a failure reason. These are comment occurrences, not a share of all cars.
These MOT comments record an exhaust emissions result. They are counted separately from a warning lamp or a catalytic converter note.
What to inspect
Ask for the emissions printout and whether any repair followed a failed test.
Example MOT wording: EXHAUST EMISSIONS CARBON MONOXIDE CONTENT AFTER 2ND FAST IDLE EXCESSIVE (7.3.D.3)
VehicleScore MOT data includes 6 advisory comments in this group. Seen mainly as an advisory. These are comment occurrences, not a share of all cars.
These MOT comments record an oil leak noted by the tester. Shock absorber misting is counted as a damper issue, not as an engine oil leak.
What to inspect
Look under the engine for fresh oil, and check the oil level.
Example MOT wording: OIL LEAK, BUT NOT EXCESSIVE (8.4.1 (A) (I))
VehicleScore MOT data includes 5 advisory comments in this group. Seen mainly as an advisory. These are comment occurrences, not a share of all cars.
These MOT comments record a worn or deteriorated bush that was not already counted as an anti-roll bar or suspension arm defect.
What to inspect
Listen for knocks and ask which bush the tester named.
Example MOT wording: NEARSIDE REAR TRAILING ARM RUBBER BUSH DETERIORATED BUT NOT RESULTING IN EXCESSIVE MOVEMENT (2.4.G.2)
VehicleScore MOT data includes 3 advisory comments in this group. Seen mainly as an advisory. These are comment occurrences, not a share of all cars.
These MOT comments record play, a leak, or a damaged gaiter on the steering rack.
What to inspect
Check for play at the steering wheel and look for split rack gaiters.
Example MOT wording: PLAY IN STEERING RACK INNER JOINT(S)
A model year is only commented on when VehicleScore has at least 5 vehicles from that year.
Not enough VehicleScore data for year-by-year conclusions.
This is an inspection checklist based on MOT comments in the VehicleScore sample. It does not mean the car you are looking at has these defects.
Tyre wear. Check the tread depth and look for uneven wear, cracking, or damage on all four tyres.
Corrosion. Inspect the underside, sills, and subframe for heavy corrosion, especially where an advisory mentions it.
Emissions test issues. Ask for the emissions printout and whether any repair followed a failed test.
Oil leak. Look under the engine for fresh oil, and check the oil level.
Suspension bush issues. Listen for knocks and ask which bush the tester named.
Steering rack issues. Check for play at the steering wheel and look for split rack gaiters.
Common problems tell you what can affect FORD GRANADAs generally. VehicleScore can check the history of the actual car you're considering.
VehicleScore analyses MOT histories from vehicles in its own dataset. Sample sizes vary by model, and a small sample is labelled as such. MOT data records roadworthiness and inspection defects. It does not capture every mechanical or electronic problem a car can have, and a comment on one test is not proof that the model has an inherent fault.
