2025 Ford Capri Premium EV Electric · WM75 VKC

This vehicle currently possesses no official DVSA MOT history, which is expected given its 2025 manufacture date and the current date of September 2026. As a new vehicle, it remains within the initial three year MOT exemption period, meaning no statutory roadworthiness tests have yet been required. Consequently, there is no historical trend of failures or advisories to analyze, and the vehicle is presumed to be in its original factory state regarding its structural and mechanical compliance. The recorded mileage is currently unknown, preventing a precise evaluation of the annual usage rate relative to the vehicle age. For an electric vehicle of this specification, the lack of mileage data necessitates a careful review of the odometer to determine if the car has undergone heavy duty usage or has remained largely stationary. High mileage in a short period may indicate frequent rapid charging cycles which can impact long term battery degradation, while excessively low mileage can lead to specific issues related to vehicle dormancy. Given the absence of a defect history, the inspection should focus on the specific vulnerabilities of a modern electric vehicle that has been in service for approximately one year. A primary concern is the condition of the brake discs and calipers. Because regenerative braking significantly reduces the use of traditional friction brakes, there is a heightened risk of surface corrosion on the discs or binding calipers. During a test drive, listen for any grinding noises or feel for uneven braking pressure, and visually inspect the discs for heavy pitting or rust build up. Further attention should be paid to the tyres and the auxiliary electrical systems. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for any signs of perishing or flat spotting if the vehicle has been stored for extended periods. It is also essential to verify the health of the 12V starter battery, as these can degrade quickly in electric vehicles if not topped up by the DC-DC converter regularly. Finally, ensure that any time-based service requirements, such as brake fluid moisture checks or cabin filter replacements, have been addressed according to the manufacturer schedule regardless of the total mileage covered.
