1983 Ford Capri 2.0L Petrol · A141 KFD

The 1984 Ford Capri presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clean pass recorded on 26 June 2025 at 53,934 miles. The maintenance trend shows no worsening faults across the five-year MOT span. The most recent test followed a failed attempt on 25 June 2025 at 53,927 miles where the tester logged no defects, indicating an administrative or unrecorded minor rectification rather than a mechanical decline. Recorded mileage sits at 53,934 against a 42-year lifespan, an average of roughly 1,284 miles per year. The DVSA entries confirm very light use: the car covered just 207 miles between the July 2022 test at 53,347 and the June 2025 pass at 53,934. No gaps exceed thirteen months and the annual increments stay under 200 miles, so the history is sparse but consistently clean with no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or emissions. A buyer should still inspect the Capri in person for age-related structural rust given the low standing mileage and four-decade age. Long dormant periods invite moisture ingress to sills, floor pans, and suspension mounting points even when testers raised no flags. Check the brake calipers for binding after storage and verify tyre sidewall condition despite the clean record. The 25 June 2025 failure with zero listed defects warrants a query to the seller on what was corrected before the next-day pass.
