1986 Ford Capri 2.8L Petrol · D602 EYX

The 1986 Ford Capri presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 17 October 2025 at 6,087 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing the clean history seen in the two prior examinations. No advisories or failures appear across the available record, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work within the tested scope. Recorded mileage sits at 6,087 miles against roughly 40 years of age, equating to about 152 miles per year. The tests show 5,241 miles on 10 May 2022, 5,587 miles on 22 August 2024, and 6,087 miles on 17 October 2025. That is 346 miles added in just over three years, with a 27-month gap between the 2022 and 2024 tests. The sparse, clean entries suggest long-term storage or very light recreational use rather than neglect, though the gap means annual condition between those dates is unverified. A buyer should still inspect for age-related corrosion on structural panels and subframes, as the MOT record does not capture hidden rust behind trim or underseal. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers may have degraded through standing rather than wear; perished rubber and seized components are common on low-mileage classics left idle. Verify the brake discs for pitting from moisture and check the exhaust for internal rot not visible in a pass result. The clean history implies careful previous ownership, but physical inspection of underside integrity remains essential before purchase.
