1987 Ford Capri 2.0L Petrol · D845 OKK

The 1987 Ford Capri presents a stable and clean roadworthiness status. The most recent test on 2 June 2025 at 85,670 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken four-year sequence of clear MOT outcomes. The maintenance trend shows no worsening or recurring advisory pattern across the available history. Recorded mileage stands at 85,670 against nearly 39 years of age, an average of roughly 2,200 miles per year. The tester logged 83,671 miles on 29 May 2024 and 82,053 on 8 June 2023, confirming very light annual use of around 1,600 to 1,900 miles. A gap exists between the 25 March 2022 test at 80,124 miles and the 2023 entry, but the low accumulation suggests gentle running rather than neglect. The DVSA data itself is sparse and free of faults, offering no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or emissions. A buyer should still inspect the Capri in person for age-related structural rust, particularly to sills, floor pans, and suspension mounting points, as a 39-year-old vehicle can hide corrosion absent from a pass certificate. The low standing mileage raises the risk of perished rubber components, stiff handbrake cables, and flat-spotted tyres from long storage. Verify the condition of brake calipers and flexible hoses for binding or cracking, and check the exhaust for internal rot. The clean MOT record implies a careful keeper, yet paper passes do not certify a 1987 chassis against time.
