1987 Honda Unknown 0.4L Petrol · D913 ELL

The 1987 Honda presents a stable and clean roadworthiness status. The most recent test on 8 January 2026 at 21,188 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of passes across every available MOT entry. The maintenance trend shows no degradation and no advisories have ever been raised across the four recorded tests. Recorded mileage sits at 21,188 miles after roughly 39 years, equating to about 543 miles per year. The DVSA entries show gentle, consistent accumulation: 19,981 miles on 30 March 2022, 20,600 on 10 May 2023, 21,068 on 5 March 2024, and 21,188 on 8 January 2026. No gaps exceed two years and no sudden mileage jumps appear. The sparse, clean record implies the vehicle spent long periods idle under light use, with an owner who kept it tested on schedule but logged very few road miles. A buyer should still inspect structural corrosion on the chassis and subframes, as a 39-year-old vehicle with long standing periods is prone to hidden rust even when MOT testers recorded no defects. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers may have aged through inactivity rather than wear, so check for perishing rubber and seized components during a physical viewing. The low annual use means consumables like tyres and brake discs could be original or very old despite adequate tread and thickness at test. Verify fluid condition, hose integrity, and fuel system health before relying on the car for regular road use.
