1984 FORD CAPRI S 5SPD2.0L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the most recent certification. The MOT test conducted on 15 May 2023 at 60,316 miles passed with no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates that the car was in a mechanically sound condition at the time of testing, with no immediate structural or safety failures flagging any concern. The recorded mileage of 60,316 miles is exceptionally low for a 42-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,436 miles per year. This pattern suggests the car has been used sparingly or stored for significant periods over its life cycle. However, the last recorded test took place over three years ago, meaning the vehicle is currently overdue for its MOT as of this date. The gap in testing data potentially masks the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid systems that occurs regardless of low mileage. A buyer must prioritize a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity, focusing on the sills, floor pans, and wing arches where the Capri is prone to advanced corrosion. Low mileage often leads to seized brake calipers and perished suspension bushes due to lack of movement. Attention is also required to check the condition of the tyres for perished dry lines and the age of the coolant and fuel hoses, as these age by time rather than distance driven.
