Hi I'm after a bit of help I'm looking to buy a mk four escort on a d plate really low mileage no owners and excellent condition I need to check mileage is genuine but lady doesn't have any old mots for it does anyone know how I can do this and also what people would pay thanks

You can check the mileage of any MOT's on record by visiting the gov UK website:

https://www.gov.uk/check-mot-history-vehicle

Hopefully this will help?

Thanks I will give it a try

No worries

It's coming up no mots on system I'm wondering if it's because last one was 1990 I've had it up on ramp condition is mint and just had a complete respray

Yeah I think the online mot is for the last 7 years or so. Check the pedals, if they are original pedals and look reasonable for the claimed mileage then it's probably as close to genuine as you can get assurances for.

the alternator starter motor have got the original paper stickers on and inside interior is Immaculate so I'm thinking mileage is genuine thanks

Just how low are we talking out of curiosity?

It's on a d plate 16 thou on clock pedals are mint everything is tbh it's not been on road since 04 but starts no probs it's a three door non sun roof

Very nice indeed!!! Now your going to go spoil it and drive it and put lots of miles on it lol :p

Wow sounds like it has a lot of potential! Weekend car I presume?

I'm going to mot it every 12mth months and leave it in the garage I think or would you not bother to mot it's being under sealed this week then it shall be put under wraps

Up to you, maybe just sorn it?

I would only mot it if your going to be driving it.

If your looking to make it a future classic, I think a lot depends on which model the MK4 is too. That will obviously have a big part in the future price. Again obviously the better the spec/model the more it might be sought after in the future.

Future classics can be a bit of a hit and miss in my opinion.

It's a 1.3l mk four I've also got a rs2000 4x4 I will try pop a picture up his is a pic of my escort rs2000 4x4 only 70thou on clock getting rare now one owner from new

It's a 1.3L immaculate condition

Both your cars look minted mate.

I love to see old cars being looked after. Especially old Fords.

I'm the same love me fords
