1983 Ford Capri 2.8L Petrol · A695 WEV

The vehicle maintains a stable and clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 26 August 2025 at 4,537 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to October 2020, indicating a vehicle that is kept in a high state of mechanical readiness. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 1983 model, averaging roughly 106 miles per year. The record shows a steady but minimal increase in usage, rising from 1,441 miles in October 2020 to 4,537 miles by August 2025. This suggests the car has spent significant periods in storage or has been used exclusively for fair-weather outings. While the MOT history is devoid of mechanical failures, the low usage pattern presents specific risks. Long periods of standing often lead to perished rubber components, seized brake calipers, and degraded fuel systems. A buyer should specifically inspect the suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking, regardless of the remaining tread. Particular attention must be paid to the structural integrity of the chassis and floor pans. The MOT record does not flag corrosion, but the inherent vulnerability of the Ford Capri to rust means a physical inspection of the sills and wheel arches is essential. Check for any signs of moisture ingress or stagnant fluid leaks that typically accompany low-mileage vehicles.
