If you own or are considering buying a 1991 Ford Granada, budget for potential repairs before each MOT. Before your MOT, pay particular attention to tyres: Check tread depth with a 20p coin — if the outer band is visible, the tyre is too worn. Look for bulges, cuts, or embedded objects. Ensure all tyres match the recommended size and load rating. With an average mileage of 104,446 miles, these vehicles are in the higher-mileage bracket where wear-related failures become more common.
Tyres — 0.1% of failures
Tyres issues account for 0.1% of MOT failures on 1991 Ford Granada models. Tyre failures include tread depth below the legal minimum of 1.6mm, cuts, bulges, exposed cords, and incorrect tyre pressure. Tyres are one of the most common and easiest-to-prevent MOT failures.

Body, chassis, structure — 0.1% of failures
Body, chassis, structure issues account for 0.1% of MOT failures on 1991 Ford Granada models. Body and structure failures include excessive corrosion, sharp edges, loose panels, and damage to the vehicle frame. Rust is the primary concern, especially on older vehicles or those exposed to road salt. Typical repair costs: £100–500+.
