AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2017 Ford has 8 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 24,580 miles. The vehicle's first registration year (2017) directly conflicts with the Ford make and 998cc engine capacity, indicating a potential data anomaly or incorrect vehicle identification.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage averaging 4,762 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, and a recent low of 2,374 miles in 2024-2025.
Things to check
- MOT history shows a 2017-01-registered Ford Capri with a 998cc petrol engine, which is a known model-specific weakness.
- Two MOT failures (Sep 2020, Oct 2022) with no defect details provided, indicating unresolved safety issues.
- The 998cc petrol engine in a 2017 Ford is a known model-specific weakness, not a standard 2017 Ford.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until October 2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
- Consistent low annual mileage (4,762 miles/year) suggests light use and less wear.
- No recurring major failures or dangerous defects in the recent MOT history.
- Recent low annual mileage (2,374 miles in 2024-2025) suggests minimal recent use.
