2016 Honda MSX 0.1L Petrol · DT16 AED

The 2026-03-04 MOT at 9,504 miles passed with no defects, confirming that the Honda MSX is presently roadworthy. While the 2024-08-12 test recorded failures such as a missing registration plate lamp, a loose drive chain and mis‑positioned rear direction indicators, the subsequent 2023-07-04 and 2026-03-04 passes indicate that those issues have been addressed, suggesting a stable or improving maintenance record. At ten years of age, the vehicle’s 9,504 miles equate to roughly 950 miles per year, a low annual mileage that may reflect limited use or extended periods of inactivity. Mileage rose modestly from 5,088 miles in April 2021 to 6,975 miles by July 2023, then accelerated to 9,496 miles by August 2024, a gain of more than 2,500 miles in just over a year, before settling at 9,504 miles in the March 2026 test. The recurring rear lighting defects and the 2024 advisory on a loose, worn drive chain warrant close inspection; the buyer should verify that all rear lamps, the registration plate lamp and the direction indicators function correctly and are properly aligned. The drive chain should be examined for tension, wear and proper lubrication, as the earlier failure indicates potential drivetrain neglect. A thorough visual and functional check of the suspension bushes, coil springs and brake discs is advisable, given the absence of recent corrosion advisories but the presence of prior rear‑lighting and drivetrain issues that may mask underlying wear. Inspect the chassis for structural rust, especially around the wheel arches and subframes, and confirm that the brakes show no binding or excessive disc wear.
