2025 Ford Capri Select EV Electric · YP25 BYB

The DVSA records show that the 2025 Ford Capri Select EV has no MOT history on file, meaning no formal test result is available to establish a pattern of pass or fail. Without any recorded examinations it is impossible to comment on whether the vehicle’s maintenance trajectory is stable, deteriorating or improving, and the prospective buyer should treat the lack of data as a gap that must be filled by a thorough independent inspection. Mileage for this model is not disclosed, so no direct comparison can be made between kilometres travelled and the vehicle’s 2025 registration date. Assuming a typical annual usage for a private electric car of roughly 8 000 to 12 000 miles, any significant deviation—either a very low figure suggesting limited use or an unusually high figure implying intensive short‑haul duty—would have distinct mechanical implications. Low utilisation can lead to tyre sidewall perishing, brake disc surface corrosion and possible battery cell imbalance from prolonged idle periods, whereas high mileage in a relatively young EV would place greater wear on the high‑voltage battery, drive‑unit bearings and regenerative braking components, and could accelerate degradation of coolant and inverter heat‑sink seals. Given the absence of MOT data and mileage, the buyer should focus on age‑related inspections. Examine the tyre tread depth and sidewalls for cracking, dry rot or uneven wear that can arise from age rather than distance; check that the tyre pressure monitoring system is functional. Inspect the 12‑volt battery terminals for corrosion and assess the main high‑voltage battery health by requesting a state‑of‑charge and health report from a qualified dealer, looking for any loss of capacity or error codes. Verify that the charging inlet, cable and lock mechanisms operate smoothly and that the on‑board charger shows no signs of water ingress or overheating. Review the service book for evidence of scheduled coolant changes for the battery thermal management system, as these fluids degrade over time even if the car sits idle. On the road, listen for any unusual whine or vibration from the electric motor and monitor the regenerative braking feel for consistency; a sudden loss of regeneration or a pulsating brake pedal can indicate worn brake discs or a failing inverter. Test the suspension by driving over a variety of road surfaces, noting any clunking, excessive bounce or uneven wheel response that could point to deteriorating bushings or coil‑spring fatigue. Finally, confirm that all software updates have been applied, as firmware revisions often address battery management, charging safety and range optimisation, and request a full diagnostic scan to ensure no hidden fault codes remain unresolved before finalising the purchase.
