What is this pipe for?

Hi I noticed when cleaning this plastic pipe has come away from toilet. But looking inside it looks capped off anyway? Just wanted to check this is an old disused pipe as there is another copper pipe connected too? Thanks

It’s for an overflow, but as you have observed it is capped off.

Yeah, overflow capped off. They mostly overflow into the pan these days.
